Warm Pasta Salad with Corn and Zucchini

Iris Warren

Report

This warm pasta salad is big on summer vegetables, corn and zucchini, with a small kick of red pepper. A great sub to potato salad and a perfect meatless entree or side dish for your next picnic or family potluck.

Instructions

Cook pasta in salted water according to package directions.
Set aside.
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet.
Saute zucchini for five minutes on each side.
You might have to do this in several batches to ensure that zucchini is cooked in one layer.
Remove zucchini from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining teaspoon of oil, corn and red onion and saute for five minutes.
Combine slightly cooled pasta with the remaining ingredients.
Serve this dish hot or at room temperature.
It keeps well in the refrigerator and makes excellent leftovers.
