Pasta needs no introduction. It is universally loved by kids as well as grown ups.There are so many pasta recipes but this one is special to me, because it has Basil from my own kitchen garden.
Basil is a powerfully aromatic herb and a little of it add a wonderful aroma and flavor to any thing. This year during spring, we planted basil for the first time in our little kitchen garden.

Very soon the little plants have grown up to flourishing big ones. It is such a joyful feeling to see the plants that you have planted, blooming and growing in front of you. The pleasure is so natural and overwhelming.Every morning when I wake up I meet them first.
I have used fresh basil from my own Kitchen garden, in this recipe.
Basil-The herb is very low in calories and contain no cholesterol. Nonetheless, its is one of the finest sources of many essential nutrients, minerals, and vitamins that are required for optimum health. I make Basil tea, during cough and cold. Basil water (brewed basil-water)helps relieve nausea and is thought to have mild anti-septic functions.

Rich, creamy and flavorful, avocados are a versatile fruit that add health and heft to many dishes. While avocadoes have high fat content, they are also packed with nutrients and are a great way to add healthy fat to recipes. We love avocadoes and Guacamole is one of the favorite dips we like to have. Well, Today I made Pasta using these two prime ingredients and this was probably one of the best pasta that I have made. I loved the fresh aroma of basil and fresh avocado combined with tomatoes. The Flavor of garlic was like an icing on top. Here is the recipe
