Summer Street Corn Pasta Salad

In the recipe below I use a special pasta called Brami Pasta. This Cubetti Pasta is made from two ingredients: real Italian flour and Lupini beans - not only does it taste delicious, it has 21 grams of protein from the Lupini beans per serving! It’s linked below the recipe so you can try it yourself!

Ingredients:

  • 4 Fresh Corn on the Cob, grilled (or go to Trader Joes and get a bag of their frozen fire roasted corn, use the entire bag)

  • 2 Poblano chili peppers - blistered and diced

  • 1 Anaheim pepper - blistered and diced

  • 12 ounces Sour Cream  (or go to Trader Joes and get their Cilantro Dressing in the produce section, that’s what we use)

  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 whole lime (juiced and zested)

  • 1 wheel crumbled Cotija cheese, mix half into the pasta. Save the other half to garnish

  • 1 bunch chopped fresh cilantro, set some aside to garnish

  • 1 box  Cubetti Brami Pasta

Instructions:

Blister the Peppers under the broiler or on your grill. Grill the corn on the cob till the corn is caramelized (or go get the frozen bag from Trader Joes!). 

Then deseed and dice the peppers and cut the corn off the cob. Mix the dressing : sour cream, coriander, cumin, salt, lime juice and zest. 

*If you’re opting to use the Cilantro Dressing from Trader Joes, we still suggest that you mix in the coriander, cumin, salt lime juice and zest. The dressing gives the dish a boost of flavor!

Once the Cubetti is boiled and strained, mix all ingredients together. Taste and add more salt, lime juice and spices as needed

This pasta salad is a great dish to go with our homemade cornbread muffins! Our recipe is available in our cookbook, Dinner Changes Everything.

Did you know that when you watch our videos you help fight human trafficking! It's true, years ago we decided to use our everyday life as a way to fight against slavery and trafficking. Since then we started hosting the Freedom Dinners and when our business started, we knew we wanted it to give back too. We donate 10% of all of our profits to AtlasFree⁩ to fight for those that cannot stand up for themselves.
