• Place pasta in a bowl and toss the pasta with 1/4 cup of olive oil.
• Chill the pasta in the refrigerator while preparing the other ingredients.
• Peel and cut one avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pit.
• Mince the jalapeno pepper and garlic cloves.
• Chop the parsley and cilantro.
• To make the dressing for the salad, combine the halved avocado, half of the chopped parsley, half of the cilantro, the lime juice, jalapeno, garlic, and salt in a food processor or blender.
• Blend until all ingredients are well mixed and add the 1 cup of olive oil in a steady stream until the mixture is creamy (resembling mayonnaise in consistency).
• If the dressing is too thick, add a little water to the blender to loosen it up.
• Set the dressing aside while you prepare the other ingredients.
• Peel 4 of the avocados, halve them, and remove the pits, and dice (I prefer larger chunks, so cut them to the size that you prefer).
• Dice the tomatoes and red onions.

• Fold in the avocado dressing and mix well until all of the pasta mixture is well coated.
