I was super skeptical about this recipe as I don’t like cream cheese and neither does my husband. He also doesn’t like vegetables and I’ve gone pescatarian.... so I’m trying to find food that we will both eat; hearty enough for my carnivore and no meat for me. This hit the spot! I’ll hold the asparagus for him next time (because I love him that much) but he ate it!! The sauce was really tasty and we liked the combination of veggies. Thanks Delish! You are my new go-to for great meals!

I make this recipe a lot just the way it is, very delicious and everyone who tries it loves it.

This is a good recipe. We made ours dairy free. I didn't use parmesan and used a coconut milk cream cheese alternative. Only used half a cup or so of pasta water since I didnt use parmesan. Garnished with a dash of salt and lemon juice. Yum!

The cream cheese adds so much tastiness to this!

Made this tonight for dinner and it is so good!! I was a little skeptic about the cream cheese but I love it!!

Cream cheese is an excellent match for pasta water and Parmesean - this is your holy trinity for the bow tie sauce for your pasta!

This Creamy Avocado Pasta is made with spaghetti coated in a delicious avocado sauce mixed with sweet corn and sun-dried tomatoes. This dish can be served warm or cold and is the perfect spring or summer meal!

Creamy Avocado Pasta with Corn and Sun-dried Tomatoes

spaghetti

flesh of 2 avocados

baby spinach leaves (tightly packed)

juice of 1/2 a lemon

salt + black pepper (to taste)

sweet corn (drained)

tomatoes

parmesan cheese (for topping)

Cook spaghetti in salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Be sure and reserve a cup of the pasta water if you drain the spaghetti.

To the bowl of a food processor, add the flesh of two avocados, spinach, olive oil, lemon juice and salt and pepper and pulse until smooth. Add a little pasta water while continuing to pulse until you reach a smooth consistency that will coat the pasta nicely, about 1/4 cup should do it.

Transfer cooked pasta to a large mixing bowl and add sauce, corn and sun-dried tomatoes. Gently toss with silicone tongs to combine all ingredients. You can add a little more of the pasta water to the bowl while mixing if needed to reach a nice, creamy consistency.

Season pasta with more salt and pepper to taste. Transfer pasta to a serving bowl and top with shaved parmesan. Enjoy!

Meanwhile, cook pasta in salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Strain pasta, reserving about a cup of pasta water.

Pour Greek yogurt sauce over veggies and cook until bubbling, stirring constantly. Season sauce with salt, pepper, garlic powder, herbs de Provence and red pepper flakes. Reduce heat to low, add grated Parmesan and simmer until creamy, adding a little pasta water as needed to reach a really smooth consistency.

In a separate large skillet, heat other tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat and add salmon. Cook until golden on the outside and medium on the inside, about 5 minutes.

Remove sauce from heat and add pasta to pan with sauce. Gently toss until all pasta is coated with sauce. Top pasta with salmon chunks, torn Burrata pieces and more grated parmesan. Finish with lemon zest and fresh parsley.
