Comments
Although a warm dish it is also excellent cold. To do so, toss the pasta with the oil immediately after draining, then let cool completely. May refrigerate. Must be brought back to room temperature before continuing. Just before serving gently toss the pasta w/ the avocado then sprinkle with tomato and parsley. Enjoy!!!
