Ingredients:
- 2 avocados, pitted and cubed (optional)
- 4 oz parmigiano-reggiano cheese, coarsely grated (we like reggiano/parmesan for this salad because it''s slightly salty and adds a lot of flavor, but y)
Directions:
- In a large stockpot, bring 8 cups of water and a dash of sea salt to a boil.
- Add the pasta and cook over medium heat according to package directions until al dente, 8 to 12 minutes.
- Remove from heat, rinse pasta with cold water and drain thoroughly.
- Allow to cool.
- In a large, attractive bowl, gently combine the pasta, roma tomatoes, avocado, basil and grated Reggiano/Parmesan.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar and herbs.
- Pour over the pasta salad and toss gently.
- Cover with plastic wrap and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for at least half an hour.
- Toss again before serving.
- Wine suggestion: Anything from a chilled sauvignon blanc to a mellow white like chardonnay or pinot blanc would go with the light, creamy flavors of this pasta salad, or try gently spicy reds like pinot noir and sangiovese.
