Shells with Gazpacho Sauce and Avocado

In a food processor or blender, combine the onion, garlic, jalapeno pepper, bell pepper, cucumber, tomatoes, salt, pepper, cumin, vinegar, and breadcrumbs. Pulse until chopped. With the machine running, add the oil in a thin stream. Add the dill and pulse once to combine. Dice the avocado and add it to the sauce.

In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the pasta until just done, about 10 minutes. Drain the pasta and toss with the sauce.

SPICING IT UP: If you like your gazpacho a little spicier, try one of these quick additions:

• Leave some of the seeds in the jalapeno.

• Add a dash of Tabasco sauce.

• Add a pinch of cayenne.
