FANTASTIC recipe and beautiful presentation! Just make sure to prepare your salad no more than 1hr prior to serving and refrigerate (so avocado doesn't brown). Bring to table without dressing and add at meal time (prevents dressing from mixing with avocado for too long, which promotes a mushy texture with the dressing). Have served with both Emerald's balsamic vinaigrette dressing, and Aldi's (with a dash of garlic, fresh cracked black pepper and and salt for added flavor). Now a family favorite that I will serve again and again. Thank you!

This is a BRILLIANT recipe! So unique and nothing like you think it will taste. Slightly sweet with a hint of chili - just a hint. Perfect. Thank you!!

To insure plenty of flavor and to simplify a bit: Added chopped bell pepper w/ meat. Drained and added additional 1 tsp minced garlic. Used prepared pasta sauce (w/ spices) in place of making your own. Added some extra flavor with a few dashes of italian seasoning. Used Italian Style Stewed Tomatoes in place of diced. Combined cheeses and added to skillet and simmered about 15-20 min. Combined pasta and liquid from skillet. Served with a dash of parm. cheese. This recipe might also be good w/ a little mozz. cheese. Will try that next time and add in w/ the other cheese. Overall, easy, quick and tasty!
