First, I cook the penne in a little salted water according to the package instructions. Meanwhile, I wash and hull the strawberries and slice them into small slices. Then I dice the avocado and the feta cheese. Personally, I prefer feta cheese made from at least 50% sheep’s milk. Otherwise, you can also use cow’s milk feta, depending on your taste. I wash the fresh mint and cut it into small strips. When the pasta is done, I place it in a colander to drain and then return it to the pot. I drizzle a little olive oil over it to prevent the pasta from sticking together. Now I add 2/3 of the feta cheese and the avocado, and season with a little salt and pepper. Please keep in mind that feta cheese is naturally quite salty. I put a lid on the pot and set it aside. Next, I quickly toast the pine nuts in a pan without any fat. After 2-3 minutes, they are lightly golden brown and ready. When serving, I distribute strawberries, mint and pine nuts, as well as the remaining avocado and feta cheese cubes on the portions.
