Cookish: What's for dinner?

This is a really easy and pleasing pasta dish: http://www.bhg.com/recipe/pasta/avocado-basil-pasta/

My adaptations are below:

  • ounces dried bow tie and/or wagon wheel pasta
    2 medium avocados, halved, seeded, peeled, and coarsely chopped
    6 slices bacon, crisp cooked, drained, and crumbled
    2/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
    2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
    1/4-1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
    1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup finely shredded Pecorino Romano cheese
    2 ears of corn, roasted, kernels cut from cob
    1 small tomato, chopped

    Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain

    Meanwhile, in a large bowl combine the rest of the ingredients, except the cheese. Add the hot pasta and toss to combine. Transfer to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with cheese. Makes 4 servings.
