This recipe was posted along with the information on avocados. I have never made it but it does look delicious. If anyone tries it, let me know how it turns out.
********************************************
8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes
3 medium tomatoes peeled and diced
2 avocados, peeled, pitted and diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 teaspoons coarse salt (or 1 teaspoon regular table salt)
pepper to taste
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
1 16-ounce package uncooked penne pasta
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
In a large bowl, toss mozzarella cheese with tomatoes, avocados, garlic, olive oil, basil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Let stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and return to pan to keep warm. Add tomato mixture and toss to coat thoroughly. Transfer onto individual serving plates and garnish with Parmesan cheese. Servings: 4.
