Directions

• Step 1 Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Put pasta into boiling water and cook until tender. This will take 10-15 minutes. When the pasta is done, drain. Toss the cooked pasta with a little butter (or oil) and set it aside until your sauce is done.
• Step 2 Heat 2 T. oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté corn, stirring occasionally, until the corn is slightly browned. Add zucchini and some salt and pepper. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini begins to brown. Add onion and garlic to the pan and sauté until the onion softens. This will take about 5 minutes. Add fresh tarragon to the pan (or the fresh herb of your choice–fresh basil, for example) and sauté for about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and optional chili flakes. Continue to cook. When the tomatoes begin to break down, reduce the heat. If your sauce begins to dry out, add some of the pasta cooking water.
• Step 3 Toss pasta with sauce and remaining oil or butter. Sprinkle pasta with cheese. Garnish with a sprig of fresh herbs.
