Bacon Basil Avocado Pasta

 

8 oz (1/2 standard box) bow tie pasta

2 medium avocados, chopped

6 slices bacon cooked (425 in oven in tray with foil or parchment paper for 15? minutes, or fry in skillet)

2/3 C chopped fresh basil

2 T lemon juice

1 T olive oil (other oil will do)

3 cloves garlic (I like the kind that comes pre chopped in a jar from the store)

1/4 t pepper

1/8 t salt

1/2 C shredded parmesan

Cook pasta according to directions. In a large bowl combine the avocados, bacon, basil*, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, pepper, and salt. Add the hot pasta and toss to combine. (Put in a serving dish if you want), then sprinkle with cheese. Serves 4. *Don't let it sit around too long or the basil will wilt and look gross.
