Salt
8 Ounces Angel Hair Pasta
2 Ears Corn, Kernels Removed From The Cob
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 Pint Cherry Tomatoes
1 Large Shallot, Minced

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt it, and cook the pasta according to the package instructions to al dente. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid and set aside.
  2. In a 12-inch cast-iron fry pan, add the corn kernels over medium-high heat and sauté kernels for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until corn is lightly charred. Remove the corn to a bowl and. cover to keep it warm. Heat the oil in the pan, then add the tomatoes and cook until they are blistered and slightly wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the shallot and garlic and cook for about 30 seconds. Add the chicken stock and lemon juice and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the liquid is slightly reduced. Fold in the butter, pasta, corn and some or all of the reserved pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce. Top with the ricotta salata, fresh herbs, and a large pinch of salt and pepper and serve.
