Ingredients:

• 1 cup whole wheat penne

• Tomato Ingredients

• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• dash of pepper
• 1/4 cup basil, chopped

• Sauce Ingredients

• olive oil in a spray container (or olive oil cooking spray)
• 1 ripe, fresh avocado, halved, pitted and peeled
• 1 1/2 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1/4 cup white vinegar
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 2 Tbsp. garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 Tbsp. honey
• salt (optional, to taste)
• pinch of pepper

Instructions:

1. In a medium mixing bowl, spritz a light, even coat of olive oil cooking spray on the cherry tomatoes, add a dash of pepper, and mix all together.
2. Next place tomatoes on a baking sheet lightly sprayed with cooking spray and roast them on 450 degrees F for about 35-40 minutes or until they begin to wrinkle.
3. Meanwhile boil pasta in a large pot.
4. While pasta is boiling, place avocado, oil, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, and honey in a blender or food processor on high until it is a liquid consistency. If the mixture is too thick, add a little water at a time until it becomes a liquid consistency.
5. Once tomatoes are roasted, pasta is boiled, and sauce is blended, mix the sauce, pasta, and tomatoes together. Garnish with chopped basil and a pinch of pepper and salt to taste. Enjoy!
