Preparation
Boil the pasta
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the pasta; stir gently to separate.
- Boil, stirring occasionally, 4 to 6 min., until al dente.
- Reserving ½ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, crumble the cheese.
- Remove the stem ends of the green beans; halve crosswise on an angle.
- Cut the corn kernels off the cob (shuck if necessary).
- Thinly slice the scallion crosswise, separating the white bottom and green top.
- Mince the garlic.
Cook the vegetables
- In a large, high-sided pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the garlic and white bottom of the scallion. Sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
- Add the green beans and corn. Sauté, 2 to 3 min., until beginning to soften.
- Add 1 tbsp water (double for 4 portions), the spices and S&P.
- Cook, partially covered, 1 to 2 min., until crisp-tender.
Combine the pasta
- To the pan, add the pasta, vinegar (start with ½), ½ the reserved cooking water, 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) and S&P; bring to a boil.
- Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until combined and warmed through.
- If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
Plate your dish
- Divide the pasta between your bowls.
- Top with the cheese, pepitas and green top of the scallion. Bon appétit!
