Ingredients
  

12 oz pasta (fusilli or penne recommended)

2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted

1 cup Greek yogurt

1 oz ranch seasoning mix (1 packet)

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

¼ cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped

½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

½ cup corn (canned, frozen, or fresh)

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Grated parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)

Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside, making sure to reserve about 1 cup of the starchy pasta water for later use.

    Prepare the Avocado Sauce: In a food processor or high-powered blender, combine the peeled avocados, Greek yogurt, ranch seasoning mix, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Blend the mixture until it is smooth and creamy. If the avocado sauce is too thick for your liking, gradually incorporate some of the reserved pasta water until you achieve your desired creamy consistency.

      Combine Pasta and Sauce: In a large mixing bowl, add the cooked pasta to the creamy avocado ranch sauce. Carefully toss the pasta until it is evenly coated with the sauce. If the pasta appears too dry, slowly mix in additional reserved pasta water, adding just enough to create a silky, luscious texture.

        Incorporate Fresh Ingredients: Gently stir in the chopped cilantro, halved cherry tomatoes, and corn. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, ensuring all ingredients are well combined.

          Serve Your Dish: Portion the creamy avocado ranch pasta into serving bowls or plates. If desired, finish with a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese and a dash of crushed red pepper flakes for a hint of spice. Serve immediately for the freshest flavor and best texture. Enjoy your delightful meal!
