Farfalle Pasta With Basil

Salad for 2.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups farfalle pasta
• 1⁄4 tsp salt
• 1⁄3 cup pesto
• 1⁄4 cup chopped sun dried tomatoes
• 1 avocado, cut to desired size
• 1 to 2 Tbs olive oil, if needed
• 1⁄4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• Optional: 1⁄4 cup blue cheese or feta cheese crumbles

Directions:

1. In a large saucepan, bring 2 quarts of water to boil. Add salt.
 
2. Carefully and slowly add pasta and salt to boiling water. (Water should continue to boil as you add the pasta.) Cook stirring frequently, until pasta is tender-chewy. This will take 9 to 11 minutes.
3. Drain and cool pasta in a colander. (Running cold water over the pasta shortens the time for cooling.)
4. Place cooled pasta in bowl and add the remaining ingredients: pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, avocado, olive oil, parmesan cheese. Stir to mix ingredients until well blended.
5. Add blue or feta cheese crumbles on top.
6. Enjoy.
