Cold pasta with avocado cream, almonds and cherry tomatoes: vegetarian and very tasty!

Ingredients

• 6 oz pasta (here mezze maniche)
• 1 avocado
• 1 oz almonds
• 4.5 oz cherry tomatoes
• juice of half a lemon
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 0.5 oz onion (a quarter of a small onion)
• pepper to taste

Preparation

• Cook the pasta in boiling water. Drain it when al dente and run it under cold water to stop cooking.
• Prepare the avocado cream: Chop the onion finely and put it in a bowl, add the avocado pulp and mash it with a fork (the onion will release all its flavor into the cream).
  
• Now pour the lemon juice, olive oil and sprinkle with pepper over the avocado cream. Then combine.
• Separately, cut the cherry tomatoes into four pieces and coarsely chop the almonds.
  
• Place the pasta in a salad bowl. Add the creamed avocado, cherry tomatoes and chopped almonds.
• Mix well, (adjust salt, if needed) and the creamy cold pasta with avocado, cherry tomatoes and almonds is ready!
