First, prepare a larger pot, fill it with water for the pasta, and bring it to a boil over high heat. Salt the water, and once it starts boiling, add the pasta to the pot and cook for 17–18 minutes over high heat. After cooking, cool the pasta under cold running water.

Meanwhile, take a larger bowl and prepare the dressing: Pour lemon juice and 3 tablespoons of olive oil into the bowl, add chili flakes, salt, and pepper, and mix.

Peel the avocado, remove the pit, cut it into small cubes, and place it in the bowl. Peel the onion, slice it thinly, and add it to the avocado. Wash the cherry tomatoes, cut them in half, and add them to the bowl along with the corn and other vegetables. Finally, roughly tear the basil into the bowl, add the drained cooked pasta, and mix everything together.
