Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 45m

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 slices thick-cut bacon, finely chopped
1/3 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup frozen baby lima beans, thawed
1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
8 ounces dried fusilli
1 cup halved grape tomatoes
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, put the bacon in a large, cold skillet then cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Set aside.
  • Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, chives, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl.
  • Cook the lima beans in the boiling water until tender, about 15 minutes. Add the corn and continue to cook until the corn is tender, about 2 minutes more. Transfer the beans and corn to a colander with a slotted spoon and run under cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain well and add to the bowl with the dressing.
  • Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool; add to the bowl.
  • Add the tomatoes and scallions to the bowl and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper and top with the bacon. The pasta salad is best if served right away.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 slices bacon (4 ounces), chopped
12 ounces short, tubular pasta, such as penne
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 small onion, halved and thinly sliced (1 cup)
2 small zucchini (10 ounces total), halved lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick half-moons (about 2 cups)
2 basil sprigs, plus 1/3 cup fresh leaves, sliced if large, for serving
1 1/2 cups fresh corn kernels, plus milk scraped from cobs (from 2 ears)
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
2 cloves garlic, minced (2 teaspoons)
1 jalapeño (ribs and seeds removed for less heat, if desired), minced
3 tablespoons apple-cider vinegar
1 1/4 ounces Parmigiano- Reggiano, grated (1/2 cup), plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in a large straight-sided skillet over medium heat until crisp and browned, about 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels. Remove fat from skillet.
  • Cook pasta in a large pot of generously salted boiling water until al dente, about 2 minutes less than package instructions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water; drain. Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons oil in skillet over medium-high. When it shimmers, add onion, zucchini, and basil sprigs; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and golden brown in places, about 8 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium; stir in remaining 1 tablespoon oil, corn kernels and milk, tomatoes, garlic, and jalapeño. Cook just until garlic is fragrant and tomatoes begin to release their juices, 1 to 2 minutes. Add vinegar; cook 30 seconds more. Add pasta and 1/2 cup reserved pasta water; continue to cook, tossing, until sauce thickens slightly and clings evenly to pasta, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat; remove and discard basil sprigs. Stir in cheese. If needed, add more pasta water, a little at a time, until sauce evenly coats pasta again. Serve, topped with bacon, a drizzle of oil, more cheese, and basil leaves.
