Ingredients
  

8 oz (225g) pasta of your choice (penne, fusilli, or spaghetti)

1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Fresh herbs (such as cilantro or parsley) for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: Begin by cooking your pasta according to the package instructions. Once al dente, drain and set aside to cool slightly.

    Prepare the Creamy Sauce: In a blender or food processor, combine the avocado, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, ranch seasoning, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon of water until the desired consistency is reached. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

      Combine Pasta and Sauce: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta and the creamy avocado ranch sauce. Toss until the pasta is generously coated with the sauce.

        Add Vegetables: Gently fold in the cherry tomatoes and baby spinach. This adds freshness and a pop of color to your dish.

          Serve: Divide the creamy avocado ranch pasta among serving plates. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and garnish with fresh herbs for an added burst of flavor.

            Enjoy: Serve immediately, or refrigerate for 30 minutes for a chilled pasta salad option. Enjoy your creamy, dreamy dish!
