CREAMY CORN PASTA WITH BASIL
There's no cream in this wonderfully summery pasta dish, just a luscious sauce made from puréed fresh corn and sweet sautéed scallions, along with Parmesan for depth and red chile flakes for a contrasting bite. Be sure to add the lemon juice and fresh herbs at the end; the rich pasta really benefits from their bright, fresh flavors. And while this is best made at the height of corn season, it's still quite good even with out-of-season supermarket ears, or with frozen corn.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until 1 minute shy of al dente, according to the package directions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in large sauté pan over medium heat; add scallion whites and a pinch of salt and cook until soft, 3 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water and all but 1/4 cup corn; simmer until corn is heated through and almost tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, transfer to a blender, and purée mixture until smooth, adding a little extra water if needed to get a thick but pourable texture.
- Heat the same skillet over high heat. Add butter and let melt. Add reserved 1/4 cup corn and cook until tender, 1 to 2 minutes. (It's O.K. if the butter browns; that deepens the flavor.) Add the corn purée and cook for 30 seconds to heat and combine the flavors.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add pasta and half the reserved pasta cooking water, tossing to coat. Cook for 1 minute, then add a little more of the pasta cooking water if the mixture seems too thick. Stir in 1/4 cup of the scallion greens, the Parmesan, the herbs, the red pepper flakes, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Sprinkle with fresh lemon juice to taste. Transfer to warm pasta bowls and garnish with more scallions, herbs, a drizzle of olive oil and black pepper.

LEMON-PEPPER CORN PASTA
Lutein is the yellow pigment found in corn and is part of the carotenoid family, which is abundantly available in yellow, orange and red fruits and vegetables. Yet lutein isn't found in many places: Besides corn, egg yolks and kale are good sources (the yellowness is masked by the green chlorophyll found in kale). Remember that lutein is best absorbed with a little fat present (which the butter, milk and cheese in this healthy pasta provides). Curcumin is found primarily in turmeric, the vibrant yellow pigment found in many curry spice blends. Besides adding a distinct yellow-ish hue to cooked stews and curries, it also has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Drop the pasta into the water and cook according to package directions, drain, reserving some of the pasta water. Toss the pasta with a splash of oil and set aside.
- Meanwhile, remove the kernels from the corn with a sharp knife. Hold the shaved cobs over a bowl and scrape with the back of the knife to extract the milk, set aside. Discard the cobs.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet, add the corn kernels, garlic, peppers and turmeric. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are tender, about 6 minutes. Add the corn milk, 2-percent milk, 3 tablespoons of the Parmesan, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer, cook until slightly thickened (like the consistency of heavy cream), about 5 minutes.
- Add the cooked pasta, lemon zest and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Gently toss the pasta in the sauce (thin out with reserved pasta water if desired). Divide among four bowls. Sprinkle each with the remaining 1 tablespoon Parmesan and some black pepper. Serve with lemon wedges.

A good SOUTHERN DISH! This dish graces the table at buffets, potlucks and in homes in the south. Also known as "butter beans" and are grown in small home gardens. When purchasing a frozen bag or box of these wonderful beans be sure to buy the kind which say "tiny" or "baby" lima beans. These beans go well with any meat as well as fried chicken, ham or pork chops. The blended flavors of lima beans, corn and bacon drippings make anyone feel like they are seated at Grandma's table!

Tips:
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh corn and lima beans for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh, frozen or canned corn and lima beans are also good options.
- Cook the Pasta Al Dente: Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, but be sure to drain it al dente (slightly firm to the bite). This will help it hold its shape and avoid becoming mushy.
- Sauté the Corn and Lima Beans: Sauté the corn and lima beans in a pan with butter or olive oil until they are tender and slightly browned. This will enhance their flavor and give them a nice texture.
- Use a flavorful cheese: Parmesan, Romano, or Asiago cheese are all great options for adding flavor to the pasta dish. You can also use a combination of cheeses.
- Season to Taste: Season the pasta dish with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dash of red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
