Avocado Pasta

My best method for getting fresh garlic into all of my kids!  They love it!!

12 oz pasta
about 1 TBSP salt for pasta water

2 cups frozen corn
1 can black beans

Sauce:
1 cup unsweetened original almond milk
1 large avocado
2 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 1/2 tsp)
1/2 tsp sea salt

Cook pasta according to package directions.  Meanwhile, put corn and beans in colander, rinse with warm water to thaw corn.  Then blend milk, avocado, garlic and salt until smooth.

When pasta is done cooking, you can pour it into the same colander which will take care of any corn that is still frozen.  Return corn, beans and pasta to pot and mix with sauce.

You could certainly make this healthier by swapping out the pasta for zoodles, quinoa, etc.  But I haven’t come up with anything my kids will devour this quickly so we’ll stick to it for now.

You could mix in diced avocado, cilantro, mango, tomatoes . . . the possibilities are endless here!
