Avocado Pasta

Ingredients:

• 12 ounces spaghetti (or whatever pasta you like)
• 2 ripe avocados, halved, pitted, and peeled
• 1/2 cup basil leaves
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 T. freshly-squeezed lemon juice
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1/3 cup olive oil - I use less
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/2 organic corn (I use Greenwise frozen corn from Publix)

Directions:

1. In a large pot of boiling water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well.
2. To make avocado sauce, combine avocados, basil, garlic, and lemon juice - you can use a food processor, but I prefer some avocado chunks and just use a fork, adding the olive oil slowly.
3. In a large bowl, combine pasta, avocado sauce, tomatoes, and corn.
4. Serve immediately.
