The basil that I was growing on my balcony was ready to harvest I got a hint from my favourite Caprese, and added avocado which goes well with it, then I made cold spaghetti.

Please use ripe tomato and avocado. When the preparation for the sauce is done (Step 3), start cooking the pasta, then you will have enough time to chill the vegetables and can enjoy cold pasta. It's better if you can chill the plate as well ahead of time. Recipe by Usagi no Cima
