Someone should warn you that as you get older, time speeds up. I am pretty sure I am still flexing my pasta rolling arms in satisfaction and it's already time for the May round of Pass the Cook Book Club. What's that, you ask. Oh, just a totally chill group on facebook where we pick a book and some recipes then all give them a try on the same date. Pretty fun, low key, and a cook way to try out new recipes. Best part is you don't even have to be a blogger. You may just enjoy reading food blogs and looking for a little inspiration in the kitchen. Well, bam! Here it is ;D

15 mins
Serves: 8

Ingredients

  • Kosher salt
  • 1 pound dried angel hair pasta
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 ears sweet corn - kernels cut from the cobs (about 2 cups)
  • 2 cloves garlic - sliced
  • 3 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
  • ½ tablespoon crushed red pepper flake
  • 2 cups grape tomatoes - halved
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 avocado - sliced and diced
  • 1 cup feta cheese crumbles
  • 1 lbs fresh cooked chorizo - sliced
  • handful fresh cilantro - snipped

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of haevily salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until just al dente, stirring often so that it doesnt stick. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, and drain the rest. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heated to medium-high, add the olive oil and corn, spreading into a single layer. 
  • Let the corn cook until browned, no stirring, for about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add the garlic, oregano, a heavy pinch salt and cook 1 minute. 
  • Stir in the red pepper flakes, and half of the reserved pasta water and cook 1 minute longer.
  • Add the cooked pasta to the pan, stiring the noodles into the sauce, add the remaining pasta water if needed, but keep in mind this is a pasta salad and a little more EVOO is yet to come.
  • Off heat, stir in the tomatoes and extra virgin olive oil. Cover and cool in fridge.
  • When ready to serve, toss in sliced avocado, feta cheese, chorizo, and cilantro.

    Oh I love that you combined aspects of the burger and put them in this pasta! Now I relly need to make it, but your version.

    Oh Kita, I love that you did this as a cold dish! It sounds fab...especially with the avocado and chorizo combination. Two thumbs up!

    I like that you added the sausage and avocado to this dish. My husband wasn't too keen on it being vegetarian but ended up really liking it. That being said I think next time we will have some sausage and/or shrimp.

    The chorizo and avocado sound like an amazing combination!! Love that this is a cold dish too. Sorry I was unable to take part this month (school took over my life!) but I can't for next month.
