Steps:
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the coriander and garlic and let it toast until you smell it, 30 to 45 seconds. Add half of the corn and cook for a couple of minutes to soften. Add the sugar, scallions and a pinch of salt. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the heavy cream and simmer until the cream reduces slightly, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Pour the mixture into a blender and puree until smooth. If the corn is "stringy" or the sauce grainy, strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Transfer the sauce to a large skillet and stir in the sun-dried tomatoes. Keep warm.
- In a large pot, bring 6 quarts of water to a rolling boil. Add a generous amount of salt. The pasta water should taste like sea water. Add the pasta to the pot and stir so it doesn't stick to the bottom as it cooks. Cook the pasta until al dente (chewy but not hard or raw tasting), 8 to 10 minutes. Reserve a little of the pasta cooking liquid in case you need it later, then drain the pasta in a colander.
- Toss the pasta in the skillet with the sauce and remaining corn. Add some basil leaves and salt and pepper. Scoop into bowls and top with Parmesan and more basil leaves.

DOUBLE-TOMATO PASTA SALAD
For full-spectrum tomato flavor, this pasta salad pairs fresh tomatoes with sun-dried tomatoes. The sun-dried tomato oil and the water that's released from salted tomatoes serve as a built-in dressing. Nuts and herbs add crunch and freshness, but you should feel free to add more embellishments right before serving, like mozzarella or shaved Parmesan, white beans or chickpeas, sardines or another tinned fish, or briny condiments like capers or olives.

Steps:
- Holding back the sun-dried tomatoes with your fingers, drain the oil from the jar into a large pot. Coarsely chop the sun-dried tomatoes and add them to the pot, along with the nuts and olive oil. Set over medium-low and cook, stirring often, until the nuts are toasted, 5 to 6 minutes. Scrape into a large bowl (reserve the pot), then stir in the garlic and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
- Fill the reserved pot with water (no need to wash) and bring to a boil. Season water with salt, add the pasta and cook until just past al dente. (The pasta will not cook further in the sauce.) Drain the pasta.
- While the water is coming to a boil, coarsely chop the ripe tomatoes. Add to the sun-dried tomato mixture, season with 1 teaspoon salt and stir to combine. (Tomato mixture can be made up to 2 hours ahead.)
- Add the drained pasta to the tomato mixture and stir to combine. Let sit until room temperature, about 15 minutes or up to 2 hours. Pasta salad will keep up to 3 days if refrigerated.
- When ready to eat, taste the pasta salad. If flavors are muted, add salt and lemon juice or red wine vinegar. If it's too sweet, add black pepper and lemon juice or red wine vinegar. Stir in the greens and eat.
FRESH CORN AND TOMATO PASTA
Another fine recipe given to me by my boss-turned-cooking-instructor from work. It's a quick and easy veggie recipe that is a party in your mouth. The key to this one is that the corn is fresh--keep it husked until right before you cook it.

Steps:
- Shuck the corn removing as many of the silk strings as possible. Hold the corn end-up over a cutting board, and slice down the the side of the corn with knife to cut off sheets of kernels at a time. It's a good idea to place a towel under the cutting board to catch flying kernels.
- Heat the olive oil at medium heat in a non-stick skillet.
- Chop the onion and saute it with salt and pepper in the skillet.
- Meanwhile, heat a pot of salted water for the pasta.
- When the onion starts turning a little brown, add the fresh corn, quartered cherry tomatoes, diced garlic, and keep sauteing.
- When the water boils, add the pasta and cook while continuing to saute.
- Add butter to the corn mixture and scrape the browned bits from the skillet, optionally adding the white wine. Be sure not to overcook the vegetable mix.
- Cook at medium heat for about five minutes, and then add chopped basil and lower heat to low if the pasta is not ready.
- Drain the pasta when ready, mix in a bit of olive oil to avoid sticking, put in bowls, and spoon corn mixture on top.
