Tomato Corn Orecchiette

Tomato Corn Orecchiette

 Tomato Corn Orecchiette is a simple pasta dish that highlights two popular summer vegetables. It has a light sauce that is made by combining reserved pasta water with parmesan cheese. In the time that it takes to cook the pasta you will have the vegetables ready. This is an easy and fast pasta dish.

The corn, tomatoes and fresh basil are the standouts in this dish. They provide lots of great flavor and freshness.

Orecchiette is a small dome shaped pasta. If you cannot find it at your store you can substitute orzo, fusilli or gemelli. 

If you would like to try some other pasta recipes using peak summer vegetables check out Summer Squash Basil Pasta, Roasted Eggplant Ziti, Farmers Market Orzo, Roasted Cherry Tomato Penne, and Caprese Fusilli  with Burrata.
