Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz. tagliatelle pasta or other egg-based pasta
  • 3 ears of corn
  • 1 medium-sized zucchini
  • 1 piece burrata cheese
  • 1 28 oz. can of crushed tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/3 cup dry red wine
  • 1/4 cup lightly-packed fresh basil
  • 1/4 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/8 tsp. pepper

Instructions
 

  • Remove burrata from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature while you cook the rest of the meal. Fill a large pot with the ears of corn and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and keep covered.
  • In a medium-sized pot, saute the garlic in the olive oil over medium-low heat until it sizzles and turns slightly brown. Stir in the tomatoes, wine, basil, oregano, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Using a vegetable peeler, run it vertically down the zucchini until you have long ribbons. Discard the center of the zucchini where the seeds are. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add pasta and cook 7 minutes. Add zucchini ribbons and cook an additional 2 minutes. Drain and keep warm.
  • Remove corn from water and shave the kernels off the cob. Plate the pasta and zucchini. Spoon the sauce on top, followed by the corn and burrata.
