Pour water into a pot on high heat and season with enough salt, add La Moderna® Rotini pasta once it boils and cook according to the time indicated on the package. Drain and set aside. Add the tuna, peppers, corn, celery, ham, red onion, and Italian lettuce to a bowl, then mix in the pasta. Incorporate all the ingredients well. For the cream: blend the cream cheese with chipotle pepper and season with salt and pepper, then add the olive oil and if you like, you can add a splash of milk. You should achieve a creamy consistency. Subsequently, add the cream to the salad bowl and mix very well with a spoon; if you feel it lacks seasoning, you can season right there. Pour the salad mixture into a deep plate and arrange it so that all the ingredients stand out, then decorate the Mexican pasta salad with avocado, cherry tomatoes, and sprinkle parsley.
