Pasta with Fresh Tomato-Avocado SauceThis is one of those recipes that works best if you follow your instincts. Find the raw onions too overpowering? Leave them out. Have more tomatoes in your garden than you know what to do with? Stick a couple more in. You get the picture - just make sure, whatever you do, that you use only perfectly ripe, in-season ingredients. If you can't (and I realize it's not summer for everyone reading!), do as James says in the recipe headnotes and "please choose another recipe".Source: inspired by a recipe in James McNair's Favorites
