This is a great summertime and end of summer pasta. It is a a great way to use all those garden tomatoes and fresh corn. It takes almost no time to prepare and tastes delicious! Feel free to use your favorite pasta. I use thin spaghetti.

Yummy. A tasty summer dish - hot or cold. I modified the dish slightly but it turned out well. I used more corn (2 cups) and threw in an entire 19 oz can of black beans. I also used fresh instead of dried basil (1/2 cup). Instead of parmesan I used feta with pleasing results. I also used way less oil (only 1 tbsp). Otherwise pretty tasty.. I'd wait for the summer tomatoes for this dish.:) Read More

Wow!! Kids raved and hubby loved it! I was out of green onions so I added 1/4 tsp dried minced onion. Used rotini for the pasta and of course added a little garlic powder cause everything's better with garlic! Thanks for the great quick recipe. Read More

Really fast and tasty. My husband thinks to make it a 5 star recipe it should have bacon (and really EVERYTHING is improved with bacon). Read More

This was very enjoyable and fresh-tasting. I used white corn off the cob fresh garden tomatoes balsamic vinegar and whole wheat thin spaghetti. We had this for dinner tonight with Savory Garlic Marinated Steaks corn on the cob Pineapple Lemonade Spritzers and Grilled Peaches and Cream. It was a sensational dinner and the best I've had in a long time! Read More

I have been looking for a recipe like this for a long time. We have go to a resturant that has corn and tomato linguini and I wanted to make it at home. This fits the bill perfectly. I left out the scallions (personal taste) - I will make this often!! Read More
