Summer Garden Tortellini

"This time of year, corn adds a little sunshine to everything it touches:

 Its sweetness really pops next to cheese tortellini and the salty jolt of prosciutto."

 

Pasta, Rice, Beans

 

INGREDIENTS:


  • 1 (8oz) bag dried cheese tortellini
    1 lg garlic clove finely chopped
    2 oz thinly sliced prosciutto cut into strips
    2 cps corn  (from 4 ears)
    1/2 stick unsalted butter
    2 medium tomatoes
    1/2 cp chopped basil






     

  • DIRECTIONS:

     

    Cook tortellini in a pasta pot of boiling salted water (2 tablespoons salt for 6 quarts water) according to package instructions.

    While tortellini boils, cook garlic, prosciutto, corn, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in butter in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until corn is just tender, 4 to 5 minutes.

    Meanwhile, chop tomatoes.

    Combine corn mixture and tomatoes in a large bowl.

    Reserve 1/4 cup pasta-cooking water, then drain tortellini and add to vegetables along with reserved cooking water and basil. Toss well and season with salt and pepper.
