Hope you will give this one a try while the corn is very fresh!
corn and tomato bow-tie pasta
8 ears of fresh corn, peeled and kernels cut off and rinsed
12 small tomatoes or 3-4 large, rinsed, dried and cut into cubes
1 yellow onion, diced
1 pkg. bow tie pasta (farfalle!), cook in salted boiling water 10 min.
and drain, reserving 1 cup pasta water
1 cup pesto
olive oil, enough to saute the corn and onion separately, (7-8 tbsp.-ish)
1 cup pine nuts, toast dry in a small pan on top of stove over
medium heat 1-2 minutes, stir once and watch
as they go from golden to burnt quickly!
1 pkg. feta cheese, cut into cubes
Roll each ear of corn a few times on a flat surface pressing with your
hands to make it easier to peel! Cut off each end, peel, then stand on
one end and using a large knife, cut kernels off of the cob. Yes, this is
messy, but worth the effort. Put all kernels in a colander and rinse.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet and saute corn 6-7 minutes over med.
heat. Set aside. Dice the onion and saute 4-5 minutes in some olive
oil over med. heat. Cook pasta and drain, saving 1 cup cooking water.
Toast pine nuts in a small pan over med. heat for 1-2 min., until golden.
Chop tomatoes, feta cheese and combine all ingedients in a large pan
and reheat on high, season with salt and pepper; add pasta water as
needed to make a sauce! Enjoy with a wedge of parmesan cheese to
grate at the table!
