Sugar Snap Pea, Corn And Grape Tomato Pasta Salad
The sugar snap peas I planted last spring are ready for harvest, just in time to add them with early tomatoes and corn in this simple pasta salad.
Ingredients
- 10 grape tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1 scallion, chopped, green only
- 1/2 cup sugar snap peas, shelled
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- 1/3 cup basil leaves
- 4 tbsp. and 1 tsp. olive oil
- 3 tbsp. red wine vinegar
- 9 oz. cooked cheese tortellini
Instructions
Cut the kernels from the corn cob into a bowl.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large skillet.
Season the peas, corn kernels, and scallions with the salt and pepper. Saute in the olive oil until the peas are crisp tender and bright green, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
Whisk together 4 tablespoons olive oil into 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar.
Add the peas, corn and scallions.
Add the tomatoes and tortellini.
Fold in the basil leaves.
Toss to combine.
Serve at room temperature.
