Avocado, Bacon & Basil Pasta - My 15 year old daughter, Grace, texted me yesterday morning and asked if she could make dinner. She even sent a shopping list. Absolutely! I love everything about this recipe. It was delicious. My other daughter, Zoe, is going to be mad when she reads this from her college dorm with no kitchen... If you are nice, Grace might make it for you when you get home! She also did wonderful mis-en-place (a French term that literally means, "setting in place", used in cooking to describe all the prep and gathering of ingredients)!
