Ingredients
  

12 oz pasta (fusilli or penne works well)

2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted

1 cup Greek yogurt

1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tablespoon lemon juice

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

½ cup corn (canned, frozen, or fresh)

Salt and pepper to taste

Grated parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)

Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving about 1 cup of pasta water.

    Prepare the Avocado Sauce: In a food processor or blender, combine the ripe avocados, Greek yogurt, ranch seasoning, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, gradually add some of the reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.

      Combine: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the creamy avocado ranch sauce. Toss until the pasta is well-coated. If it feels dry, add more reserved pasta water until you achieve a silky consistency.

        Add Veggies: Stir in the chopped cilantro, cherry tomatoes, and corn. Season with salt and pepper to taste, mixing everything well.

          Serve: Divide the creamy avocado ranch pasta into bowls or plates. If desired, sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for an extra kick. Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture!
