Avocado Basil Pasta

This is a pasta salad that takes advantage of all your summer garden has to offer.  Looking forward to giving it a try sometime soon.

8oz. dried bow tie or wagon wheel pasta
2 medium avocados; halved, seeded, peeled, and coarsely chopped
2 medium ripe tomatoes, roughly chopped
6 slices bacon, crips cooked, drained and crumbled
2/3 C. chopped fresh basil
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp. olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 C. shredded Parmesan cheese

Cook the pasta according to package directions.  Rinse and set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the avocados, tomatoes, bacon, basil, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, pepper and salt.  Add the pasta and toss to combine.

Transfer to a serving bowl and toss to combine.
