The first thing your going to want to do is figure out how many people you are going to be feeding. In this recipe we are going to be cooking for 4.

People tend to eat between 60-80 grams of store bought pasta. You are going to have to buy one pack, which is usually 450-500 grams, and measure with a scale 320grams. (if you do not have a scale take a big handful of pasta 4 times)

Once the pasta is measured and ready, your going to put water inside a medium size pot and boil it. Give the water time to boil and then pour 2 table spoons of salt inside before pouring the pasta.

During this process your going to want to take out your mozzarella, just to let it get warm up a little in room temperature.

While waiting for the water to boil, your going to grab your avocado and start cutting it. Your going to slice in 2 and take out the seed. Once its been slice in half, your going to cut slim slices inside and then across. With a spoon your to scope it out and place it inside a big a bowl.

In between waiting for the pasta water to boil and pouring in the pasta, your going to want to clean and cut your cherry tomatoes. The amount you would like of tomatoes is up to your liking, usually a box is a good amount. Your going to want to cut your tomatoes in fours with a gridded knife to not let out the juice. Once chopped up your going to place the tomatoes in the same bowl as the avocado.

Once you have poured the pasta inside the boiling water with the salt, your going to start to take out your small mozzarella balls from their water. Your going to took them like the tomatoes in four with the same gridded knife. Once you have chopped the 8-10 balls, your going to place them inside the same bowl as the avocado and tomatoes. You want to mix them together and add a table spoon of olive oil and two pinches of salt.

Once the pasta is cooked (usually the cooking time is inbetween 10-12minutes) and ready to be taken out, your going to keep half a cup of pasta water. Pour in the pasta inside the bowl with the other ingredients and mix it around. Depending on your liking, if the pasta is a bit a dry pour little by little some of the pasta water until you get the consistency you like.

I always like to taste the pasta before serving it just in case it’s missing a little flavor. If so add a touch of oil and salt until your liking. Serve either warm or cold is good.

Enjoy!
