Avacado Bacon Pasta Salad

(This is actually a recipe I got from Karma, but I beat her to posting it! It's really good and works well doubled, too.)

8 oz dried pasta (bowtie works well)
2 medium avacados, diced
6 slices of bacon, cooked crispy, dried, and crumbled
2/3 cups fresh basil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves galic, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup finely shredded Romano cheese or Parmigiano-Regiano

Cook pasta in salted water and drain.

In a large bowl combine pasta with olive oil and lemon juice. Add remaining ingredients and toss. Serve chilled or room temperature.

We made this for dinner last night. It was so very good. It would be nice for those hot summer nights when you don't want to cook anything in the oven either. Shane loved it he declared it "a keeper" which means he looks forward to the next time I make it!

So did Paul, and he never requests recipes! He's asked for it several times already.
