Confetti Corn and Pasta Bowl
Fresh corn does double duty in this festive pasta salad: first as the base of a delicious, subtly sweet dressing; and second, in the salad itself, nestled among vibrant vegetables such as bell pepper, grape tomatoes, and zucchini spirals.
This festive pasta salad features five ears of corn: Three help form a velvety base for the oil-free dressing, while the other two get cut into planks, giving the dish a cool appearance. (Don’t worry if they break up a little.)

INGREDIENTS
- 5 ears sweet corn, husks and silks removed
- 1 small clove garlic
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 4 cups dried whole wheat rotini or penne pasta (12 oz.)
- 1½ cups frozen shelled edamame
- 1 medium zucchini or yellow summer squash, trimmed and spiral sliced (2 cups)
- 2 cups halved red and/or yellow grape tomatoes
- 1½ cups coarsely chopped orange bell pepper
- ¼ cup chopped fresh basil and/or Italian parsley
INSTRUCTIONS
- Make Creamy Corn Dressing: Cook 5 ears of the corn in enough boiling water to cover 2 minutes; drain. Cool slightly. Reserve two ears for Step 3. From other three ears, cut corn from cobs. In a blender combine corn, garlic, and ½ cup water. Cover and blend until smooth. Press mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl; discard solids. Whisk together corn mixture, lemon juice, mustard, and sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Cook pasta according to package directions, adding edamame the last 2 minutes of cooking; drain. Rinse with cold water until cooled; drain again. Snip zucchini noodles into 2-inch lengths.
- In a large bowl combine pasta mixture, zucchini, tomatoes, bell pepper, and basil. Add half of the Creamy Corn Dressing; toss to coat. Cut remaining corn from cobs into planks. Top pasta mixture with corn planks. Pass remaining dressing.
