CHERRY TOMATO PASTA WITH AVOCADO SAUCE
Heart-healthy avocado makes this pasta dish feel indulgent without being overly rich. The flavorful sauce is so luscious, you'll think there is cream hiding in there. It's guilt-free and dairy-free, but with a texture and consistency that's similar to traditional cream-based sauces. -Julie Peterson, Crofton, Maryland

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the linguine. Toss in a teaspoon of salt.
- While water is coming to a boil, core tomatoes, cut in eighths and pulse in a food processor until finely chopped. Transfer the chopped tomatoes to a colander suspended over a bowl so excess liquid can drain.
- When the water is boiling, add the linguine and stir.
- Heat two tablespoons of the oil in a saucepan, add the garlic and cook over medium-low heat until lightly browned. Remove from the heat and put in a large bowl. Stir in the drained tomatoes and capers and fold in the tofu. Season to taste with salt and hot red pepper flakes. The seasonings should be fairly assertive so they will not fade once the pasta is mixed in. Set aside.
- When the linguine has cooked about seven minutes and is al dente, drain it in a colander, toss it with the remaining tablespoon of oil and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes. Add the basil and fold all the ingredients together. Check seasonings and serve while still warm.
