GTTC: summer corn pasta


This summer corn pasta is easy to throw together and contains flavorful savory ingredients everyone loves (and probably has on hand). Cook chopped bacon and drain on paper towels. Cut the kernels off about 5 ears of corn. Puree half of the corn along with about a cup of chicken broth. Add all the corn, the bacon, and a chopped onion to a large pot and simmer until corn is tender. Cook pasta in pot of salted water. Add cooked,drained pasta and about a cup of the cooking water to corn mixture. When hot, remove from heat and mix in about 2-3 cups spinach or arugula. Season with salt and pepper and top with shaved Parmesan.

What are you harvesting and cooking this week? Is it tomatoes galore for you? Summer gazpacho season?

  5. That looks so yummy. I'm making some peaches for shortcake tomorrow. Hope to remember to take a picture so I can post it to GTTC on Monday.

    The corn has been great recently, so this would be perfect.

My awesome gardening friends...thanks for leaving a comment! I don't typically repond here, but I love knowing who you are so I can visit your blog as well.

btw - if you're trying to show me nude Miley Cyrus photos, sell me nikes or viagra or antibiotics, or encourage my lovely garden readers to visit your site on solar panel construction, or seo-whatevers, sorry, but I'm not publishing your comment. If you want to moderate my blog - well, I can't keep you too busy, and the pay would be horrible. And lastly, no. I'm not interested in Club Penguin cheat codes. Thanks anyway.
