Corn Pasta With Sun Dried Tomatoes Recipes

FRESH CORN & SUN DRIED TOMATO ANGEL HAIR PASTA RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Cut the tomatoes into fine julienne and place them, along with the sugar in a small bowl. Pour in just enough hot water to cover. Set aside to hydrate until soft, about 30 minutes. Drain well, squeezing out excess liquid. You may skip this step if you choose oil packed or pre-marinated sun-dried tomatoes. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add good amount of salt. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, according to package instructions. Retain some of the pasta water for the sauce. Make the sauce: Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat until hot. Add the garlic and shallots; saute briefly until lightly colored. Add the oregano, corn, balsamic and about 1 cup of the pasta cooking water. Cook, uncovered, until the corn is just tender, about 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the tomatoes, half of the Parmesan, and 1 tablespoon of the parsley and toss well. Toss with more of the reserved cooking water, if necessary, to moisten. Pour the pasta into a warmed serving bowl, dust with a little more Parmesan, and scatter the remaining parsley on top, and give it a good grind of pepper. Pass the remaining Parmesan at the table. Serve immediately.

PASTA WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water with a splash of oil to keep it from sticking together. Boil for 12 minutes, or according to the directions on the package. Drain well and allow to cool. Place the pasta in a bowl and add the tomatoes, olives, mozzarella, and chopped sun-dried tomatoes.
• For the dressing, combine the sun-dried tomatoes, vinegar, olive oil, garlic, capers, salt, and pepper in a food processor until almost smooth.
• Pour the dressing over the pasta, sprinkle with the Parmesan and basil, and toss well.

SUNDRIED TOMATO, CORN AND BACON PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• Place bacon strips on a large skillet, place the skillet on the stovetop, and then turn the heat on medium-high. Cook the bacon until it starts to crisp up and then flip to cook the other side. Remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate. Break the bacon into bite-sized pieces once it cools slightly.
• When the bacon is about half-cooked, start boiling water in a medium-large pot. Once the water comes to a boil, add your pasta and cook until it is just al dente (8-10 minutes for dry pasta).
• While the bacon cooks and the water boils, cut the corn off the cob and prepare the sun-dried tomato sauce. Roughly chop the sun-dried tomatoes, then add the tomatoes and the oil from the jar to the bowl of a food processor. Add the garlic and parmesan cheese and then process the ingredients until the tomatoes are finely chopped.
• After the bacon has cooked, add the corn to the bacon grease (you can drain some of the oil) and cook for about 3-4 minutes, just enough to lightly cook the corn.
• When the pasta has finished cooking, drain it, then add it to the skillet with the corn. Add the bacon and the sun-dried tomato sauce and stir well to coat the pasta with sauce. Finally, add some diced fresh mozzerella and fresh basil.
