Summery Fresh Avocado-Basil Pasta Delight

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the farfalle pasta until al dente, according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain the pasta and rinse under cold water to cool and stop the cooking process. Set aside.

While the pasta is cooking, prepare the avocado-basil sauce. In a food processor, add the ripe avocados, fresh basil leaves, lime juice, salt, minced garlic, and olive oil. Blend until you have a consistent, creamy sauce. If necessary, scrape down the sides of the food processor a few times to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.

In a large mixing bowl, add the cooked and cooled pasta. Pour over the freshly prepared avocado-basil sauce. Toss the pasta to ensure it's evenly coated with the sauce.

Season the pasta with the black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Give it another brief toss to combine the seasoning with the pasta and sauce.

Before serving, add the sliced olives, quartered cherry tomatoes, and croutons to the pasta. Gently mix to combine. Your Summery Fresh Avocado-Basil Pasta Delight is ready to be enjoyed!
