angel hair pasta with fresh basil, avocado and tomatoes

I got this recipe from my friend Nadine, but then I also found it in my Betty Crocker quick & Easy cookbook. It's really fast and delicious - although Aaron doesn't like it - oh well.

angel hair pasta with fresh basil, avocado and tomatoes

8 oz pasta (angel hair cooks fast, but you can use spaghetti, or something else)
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 close fresh garlic, finely chopped
3/4 c chopped fresh basil
1/2 - 3/4 large avocado, peeled and cut into small cubes
4 medium tomatoes, cut into small cubes
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Cook and drain pasta as directed on package
While pasta is cooking, heat oil in 3 qt- sauce pan over medium heat. Cook garlic in oil about 5 minute, stirring occasionally, until garlic is tender but not brown; remove from heat.
Stir basil, avocado, and tomatoes into garlic in sauce pan. Toss vegetable mixture and pasta. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
