Pasta to yield 3 cups cooked, I used tri-color Rotini
1 med. zucchini, sliced thinly on the diagonal

about 1/2 package of grape tomatoes, about 6 oz.
( I also threw in half a regular red tomato I had lying around)
1 ripe avacado
2 tbsp Half and Half Cream ( you could use any other liquid here)
Juice of half a lemon
.25 tsp Garlic powder( or use fresh)
A couple of sprigs of fresh basil, I used about 8 leaves.

Cook pasta and drain. While that's boiling, heat a large griddle and grease it lightly. Add the zucchini and squash and saute until soft and slightly browned. While the squash is cooking, halve and pit the avocado, and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Put it in a food processor and and the basil leaves, garlic, lemon juice, Half and Half, and salt to taste. Puree until smooth. Mix pasta, cooked veggies, and avocado mixture. If desired, throw the tomatoes into the hot griddle and saute just until warm and beginning to slip off their skins. Add tomatoes to everything else and toss.
