Succotash Pasta Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Meanwhile, put the bacon in a large, cold skillet then cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Set aside.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, chives, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl.
• Cook the lima beans in the boiling water until tender, about 15 minutes. Add the corn and continue to cook until the corn is tender, about 2 minutes more. Transfer the beans and corn to a colander with a slotted spoon and run under cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain well and add to the bowl with the dressing.
• Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool; add to the bowl.
• Add the tomatoes and scallions to the bowl and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper and top with the bacon. The pasta salad is best if served right away.

Steps:

• Cook bacon in a large straight-sided skillet over medium heat until crisp and browned, about 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels. Remove fat from skillet.
• Cook pasta in a large pot of generously salted boiling water until al dente, about 2 minutes less than package instructions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water; drain. Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons oil in skillet over medium-high. When it shimmers, add onion, zucchini, and basil sprigs; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and golden brown in places, about 8 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium; stir in remaining 1 tablespoon oil, corn kernels and milk, tomatoes, garlic, and jalapeño. Cook just until garlic is fragrant and tomatoes begin to release their juices, 1 to 2 minutes. Add vinegar; cook 30 seconds more. Add pasta and 1/2 cup reserved pasta water; continue to cook, tossing, until sauce thickens slightly and clings evenly to pasta, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat; remove and discard basil sprigs. Stir in cheese. If needed, add more pasta water, a little at a time, until sauce evenly coats pasta again. Serve, topped with bacon, a drizzle of oil, more cheese, and basil leaves.

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, cherry tomatoes, corn, peas, olives and parmesan cheese.
• 2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and salt.

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
• Drizzle the corn, red pepper and jalapeno with canola oil and sprinkle with salt. Grill on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Set aside to cool. Remove the stems and seeds from the red pepper and the jalapeno, then cut the red pepper into slices and cut the jalapeno into small dice. Cut the kernels from the corn ears.
• Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. During the last 1 to 2 minutes of cooking, add the lima beans. Drain, and toss with 1 tablespoon of the canola oil.
• Puree the lemon juice, honey, parsley and some salt and pepper in a food processor. With the motor running, drizzle in the remaining canola oil.
• In a large bowl, combine the dressing with the pasta, lima beans, corn and red peppers. Toss well. Add the chopped jalapenos, one teaspoon at a time, until the desired level of spiciness is reached. Season again with salt and pepper as needed.
• Chill in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours, until cold and the flavors have married. If acid is lacking, squeeze half a lemon over before serving.

Stir in the basil and red wine vinegar, season with salt and pepper and serve.
