Story

My wife just made the most fabulous pasta dish for me. It's ten o clock at night and I never like to eat that late so I told her I would just have a taste. I am now about to finish my second bowl! This is a simple recipe that anyone can make, but the complexity of flavors is excellent. This is good for those who avoid meat as well.
These are the reasons I like this. We are experiencing 100+ degree temperatures where we live. The last thing I like when it's this hot is a big heavy meal with a thick sauce. This one is nice and light for days like this. Her choice of a Linguine for the pasta kept it light too.
My wife and a few other great chefs have opened my initally skeptical eyes to the world of and importance of textures in cooking. Now I notice that much more in a dish. I noticed right away with this one how well the cool juicy texture of the tomatoes complimented the warmer more dry avacodo chunks. Just as you are experiencing this combination of flavors and textures you hit a bit of the crumbly Feta cheese, and lookout! This combination just really works.
Nice light pasta dish filled with great flavors and textures for a hot summer day! I hope you enjoy this one as much as I have!
