Featured Recipe: Chipotle Corn Pasta
- 4 bundles of Ohio City Pasta linguini
- Butter and/or EVOO
- Fresh garlic
- 4 corn cobs (cook and remove corn from cob)
- 1 Tablespoon pureed chipotles in adobo sauce – this stuff is spicy!
- Fresh Cilantro
- Goat Cheese
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Prepare pasta and set aside (Ohio City Pasta only takes about 1 minute to cook). Saute garlic, corn and chipotle in butter/EVOO. Toss with pasta and fresh cilantro and top with goat cheese. Enjoy!
Hint: A can of chipotles will go a long way. Puree in a mini-food processor and save in the freezer for future use. It adds great flavor to so many dishes, including soup and chili, and is always good paired with corn!
**One bundle of Ohio City Pasta equals about one serving. Feel free to tweak this recipe to feed as many folks as you need.
