Recipe: Pasta Corn Casbah

Posted on July 18, 2011

It happened again.

The Hubster and I went to Casbah for dinner. And I had another amazingly inspiring custom meal. That made me want to rush home and create something similar. Kind of like that time I had squash in my pasta.

Each bite brought with it another ooh and a gutteral aah.

Everyone should be able to experience a meal like that. Food intolerances or not.

Casbah gave me the gift of good food. And now, I’m paying it forward. And giving the gift of good food to you.

I love you too.

Pasta Corn Casbah

Ingredients:

1 sweet onion, loosely diced
1 bunch asparagus, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 generous cup of corn {frozen or fresh}
2 tbs balsamic vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbs olive oil
pasta of your choice {we used Oriechette}

Directions:

Cook pasta until al dente.
Meanwhile, saute onions in large saucepan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes.
Add balsamic vinegar and garlic. Saute for another 3-5 minutes.
Add asparagus. Cook until bright green, approximately 3-5 minutes.
Add in corn. Cook until heated through, about 1-2 minutes {longer if frozen}.
Mix in with pasta, and serve!
Optional: Can add in watercress. Do not cook, just add in at the very end. Or pea shoots. Those were pretty darn delicious too.

For your reference:
This recipe is vegetarian and vegan. It is also nightshade free, dairy free, soy free, egg free, cinnamon free, and contains no MSG. It can also be made wheat free and gluten free, depending on choice of pasta.

Had this tonight – it was so delicious! We added in a can of black beans just for some extra protein.
