Minimal Monday: Pasta with Fresh Corn, Tomatoes and Basil

Here's another way to use all that summer corn that's flooding into the markets.  


Saute some fresh corn kernels in olive oil until just tender.  Throw in some chopped tomato, salt and pepper.


Add a bunch of torn basil leaves.


Add your favorite pasta, cooked al dente, straight from the hot water into the pan.


Toss with a little Parmesan or Asiago cheese.



Have a great Monday!

  3. This has my name on it, Sue. I love making simple pastas like this. I'm guessing that my next batch just might have some smoked salmon tossed in as well! Have a beautiful week!!

  5. This is absolutely one of my favorite way to eat fresh summer vegetables--with as little done to them as possible! So fresh and quick--love it. :)

  8. I think we're being affected by that drought hitting the corn crops. I keep looking and looking for fresh corn in the markets and there is very little! We loved corn still in their husks grilled in lots of pesto...maybe soon!
