INSTRUCTIONS
Spaghetti
Bring a pot of water to boil to cook the noodles.
Prepare the avocado crema (recipe below).
Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the onion and cook for a few minutes until it softens.
Add mushrooms, jalapeño, and garlic and cook a few minutes until the mushrooms begin to sweat.
Add the corn, bell pepper, fire-roasted tomatoes, black beans (optional), paprika, chili powder, cumin, oregano, cayenne, and salt, and cook for about 4-5 minutes, until the water from the tomatoes begins to cook off and the sauce thickens a bit. Taste and adjust seasoning to taste.
Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to the package directions.
Divide the noodles between 4 plates, top with sauce, and drizzle with avocado crema. Sprinkle fresh green onions and monterey jack (optional) on top. Serve with lime wedges.
Avocado Crema
Toss all the ingredients in the food processor and blend until smooth. (Yup, that's all!). You'll likely have leftover crema that you can dip chips in too!
