Linguine With Buttery Corn

It's Summer Folks...It's insanely hot...Here is an insanely cool dish to cook in the afternoon....

Mix up a hot summer night with cool flavor bombs like buttery corn and tangy goat cheese.

INGREDIENTS: 
  • 12 oz. linguine
  • kosher salt
  • 4 tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 1 bunch scallions, sliced, greens and whites separated
  • 1 Black pepper
  • 3 c. corn kernels (from about 3 ears)
  • 1 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
  • 4 oz. soft goat cheese
DIRECTIONS:
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain and return pasta to pot.
  2. Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add scallion whites and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until scallions are just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add corn, tossing to coat, and cook until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes more.
  3. Add pasta, ½ cup pasta water, and remaining 2 tablespoons butter to pan and toss to combine. Add additional water to loosen the sauce, if necessary. Fold in scallion greens and parsley. Serve dolloped with goat cheese and topped with more parsley.
A nice cool Ice tea would go just right with this...

 Enjoy...Keep cool and eat well my friends..
