Summer Spaghetti with Corn and Tomatoes [recipe]

[Guest guest]

Mmmm....I'm eating this right now! Kitchen table? That's the thing

under that pile of junk, right? I actually used the corn spaghetti this

time. It's really sticky and you have to stir it a lot, even kind of

breaking it up with a fork. But it's really good. And it even tastes

like a plate of summer with the cilantro and lime. A really pretty

presentation too, being such a simple dish. I used the feta instead of

the queso.

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

12 ounces corn -flour or regular spaghetti

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

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

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

Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a little pepper and turn the heat to

vegetables and toss well. Divide among pasta plates, crumble the cheese

over the top, and add the remaining cilantro. Serve with a wedge of

lime.
