INSTRUCTIONS

1.

Cook ZENB Pasta as directed on package. Drain; keep warm.

Meanwhile, heat oil and butter in large skillet on medium heat until melted. Add onion, salt & pepper; cook 3-5 minutes or until translucent.

3.

Increase heat to medium-high. Add corn; cook 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until thawed. Add wine and stock; cook 4-5 minutes until liquid is reduced by half.

Tasty Tips

Take advantage of in-season fresh summer corn. Brush 4 ears of corn lightly with oil. Grill on direct medium-high heat for 10-12 minutes turning frequently until charred in spots and tender. Once cooled, carefully remove kernels from cobs.
