Step 4
Place pasta in a large bowl. Add in bocconcini cheese, strawberries, avocado and basil. Add dressing. Mix all together and serve.
Gemelli
Gemelli is a simple shape of two strands of pasta twisted together. These small pasta twists are also remarkably versatile, as their shape holds the flavour of sauce beautifully while retaining the firm "al dente" texture that you expect from Barilla.
