Make the pasta according to the package, drain the water, and set the pasta aside. Next, mix in the rest of ingredients, starting with the lemon juice and olive oil, then tomatoes, avocados, and the feta. For the tomatoes, avocados, and feta, you can cut them however you prefer. After, refrigerate for 2 hours and serve! :) You can serve it warm as well, but I prefer cold. :) You can change it up and use lime juice, different feta, wheat pasta, etc. but this is the cheapest way for me to make it as a college student. I made this tonight for dinner, and will use it for the next three nights after. Enjoy! :D

    The veggie spirals, which I know are not actually vegetables, haha but the tomatoes and avocados. The original way I used to make it had green onions and some other stuff in it, but I took out a lot tonight. Sometimes I like to mix it up and put in zucchini, squash, black olives, etc. Whatever you feel like!

    Sounds pretty yummy. I think adding some green veggies might make this extra good.
