Classic Italian flavor makes this salad delicious!
1 pound pasta shells, bowties or other medium shape, such as Tuscanini Fusilli
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
12 to 15 basil leaves, washed, checked and chopped or 4 cubes frozen basil
1 cup Tuscanini Sun Dried or oven roasted tomatoes or fresh grape tomatoes, cut in strips
1 cup pine nuts (pignolia)
2 cloves garlic, crushed or 2 cubes Gefen Frozen Garlic
kosher salt to taste
2 ripe Haas avocados, cut in cubes
Bring five quarts of water to boil in a large pot. Add pasta and cook 10 minutes. Drain well and toss with olive oil.
Add basil, tomatoes, garlic, and pine nuts. Season to taste with salt. (Salad can be prepared in advance up to this point.) Add avocado just before serving. Toss to combine. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Can I skip the pine nuts?
I don’t see why not.
