Ingredients:
1 c sweet fresh corn kernels , scraped from the cob
2 cloves garlic (or to taste , I used 3) , minced finely
2 fresh vine-ripened tomatoes , seeded and chopped roughly
1/2 c heavy cream
Olive Oil as needed
8 oz pasta - I used Mafalda (a skinny lasagna-like noodle)
1/3 lb fresh sweet shrimp (medium is best) , deveined and peeled
1 lb asparagus , tips only , stems discarded or saved for another use
Salt and Pepper
Parmigiano Reggiano , freshly grated (if desired)
Instructions:
First , bring a large stock pot of water to boil , add ample salt (salty like ocean water - this matters in this recipe because a lot of the ingredients are naturally sweet and you need a balance).
Add pasta , stir quickly to prevent sticking.
Meanwhile , heat a large skillet over medium heat.
Then , add approximately 1 tbs olive oil. Saute garlic briefly , then add asparagus.
Splash with a bit of pasta cooking water to steam asparagus slightly.
Add corn and saute briefly. Salt and pepper.
Drain pasta , reserving 1/2 c cooking liquid. Add shrimp and pasta to skillet.
Add pasta cooking water and cream. Simmer on medium heat , tossing , just until sauce is thickened.
Add tomatoes and toss briefly. Salt and pepper to taste - add freshly grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
Serve immediately with a crisp green salad and a chilled white wine.
And.... Enjoy!
