Sweet basil creamed corn pasta with cherry tomatoes and chopped jalapeno peppers- your new favorite barbecue pasta recipe!
This is one of those farmers market salads that can be made in just a few minutes and doesn’t require a very long list of ingredients. The fresh corn is really what makes the pasta stand out. That crispy crunch can not be found in a can or the freezer:) My new favorite summertime flavor combo is corn, basil, and a little cream in the blender.. so freaking yumm!!! That is exactly how I made the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Finish up with cherry tomatoes, jalapeno peppers,and bacon would be good if thats what makes you happy:)
Xoxo lets have a awesome Friday!
