Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

12 ounces corn or regular spaghetti

salt & freshly ground pepper to taste

2 tablespoons corn oil or butter

1 bunch scallions, including half the greens -- chopped

2 cups corn kernels

1 bell pepper (any color) -- finely diced

1 jalapeno pepper -- seeded & diced

3 tomatoes, halved -- seeded & diced

1/2 cup fresh cilantro -- chopped

2 ounces queso fresco or feta cheese

Cook the pasta in plenty of salted boiling water until al dente.

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet and add the scallions, corn,

bell pepper, and jalapeno. Saute over high heat for 3 minutes, then add the

tomatoes, most of the cilantro, and a ladle of the pasta water. Season with

about 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a little pepper and turn the heat to low.

Drain the pasta, shaking off the excess water. Add it to the vegetables

and toss well.

Divide among pasta plates, crumble the cheese on top, and add the

remaining cilantro. Serve with a wedge of lime.
