Description

A delightful dish that combines rich flavors and vibrant textures with creamy avocado sauce, sweet corn, and lime.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 300 grams spaghetti (about 10.5 oz)
  • 2 medium ripe avocados
  • 1 cup sweet corn (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (plus extra for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
  2. Sauté the corn in a pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes until slightly golden.
  3. In a blender, combine avocados, lime juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth, adding reserved pasta water as needed.
  4. In a large bowl, combine spaghetti and avocado sauce, tossing to coat. Add corn and cilantro, mixing gently. Adjust seasoning if needed.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 1-2 days.
  • Reheat gently over low heat, adding reserved pasta water if the sauce thickens.
  • For a vegan version, ensure pasta is egg-free and use plant-based toppings.
