INSTRUCTIONS

1.

Heat grill to medium-high. Cook ZENB Pasta as directed on package. Rinse pasta under cold running water until chilled.

2.

Meanwhile, combine tomatoes, 1 teaspoon olive oil, tamari and rosemary in small bowl. Spoon onto large sheet of heavy-duty foil; fold in sides tightly to make packet. Brush bell pepper and corn with remaining olive oil. Grill tomato packet 3-5 minutes until sizzling and remaining vegetables 6-8 minutes turning frequently until tender and lightly marked. Transfer vegetables to clean plate; cool. Discard rosemary sprig. Cut corn kernels off cobs.

Tasty Tips

Tamari is a Japanese sauce made from fermented soybeans similar to soy sauce. While soy sauce is made with both soybeans and wheat, tamari is made strictly from soy beans and therefore, is gluten-free.

Chilling the ZENB Pasta under cold running water as directed in our recipes produces the best pasta texture in cold applications. This recipe is best served immediately, as opposed to preparing ahead to refrigerate overnight.

For 2 servings, this recipe can easily be cut in half.
