Charred Corn &amp; Basil Pasta

vegan butter (or sub oil)

green onions, thinly sliced

garlic

(340 g) dry pasta (gluten-free

cashew milk (or sub oat or coconut milk)

arrowroot powder

nutritional yeast (optional)

salt

black pepper

basil,

Sear the Corn

melt the butter over medium-high heat. Once melted, add the corn kernels and sauté for 7-9 minutes, stirring only every 2 minutes or so to brown the kernels. Add the garlic and green onion to the pan and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, then remove from the heat.

Cook the Pasta: 

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then add in the pasta and cook until al dente, according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta, but do not rinse; set aside.

Make the Sauce: 

In the meantime, add half of the cooked corn mixture to a high-speed blender along with the cashew milk, arrowroot powder, nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper. Blend until a smooth sauce forms. Return the sauce to the sauté pan over medium heat and stir occasionally. Once simmering, add the pasta and the remaining corn. Cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the pasta is cooked to your liking. Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste, if necessary.

Serve: 

divide the pasta into serving bowls, then top with fresh basil. Serve warm; leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Just made this tonight. Added the roasted tomatoes. Great way to use summer produce!

Yum! The three small ears of corn from my CSA only yielded 1-1/4 cups, so I halved the recipe. That’s a shame, since we won’t have leftovers. I did substitute cornstarch for the arrowroot. A great weeknight meal!

Great recipe.  I used frozen corn to make it easy and it was perfect.  I also used less garlic because I have little kids.
