INGREDIENTS

  • Pasta

    • 8 ounces shell pasta

  • Seasonings

    • 🧂 2 tablespoons kosher salt
    • 2 teaspoons chili powder
    • 2 teaspoons hot sauce

  • Vegetables

    • 🌽 5 large corn
    • 🍅 1 cup grape tomatoes
    • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro

  • Dairy

    • 🧀 1 cup cotija cheese
    • 1/2 cup sour cream

  • Condiments

    • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
    • 🍋 1/4 cup lime juice

STEPS

1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons salt and pasta to water. Cook, stirring often, until pasta is tender with a bite, 9 to 10 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water until lukewarm. Drain well and add to a large bowl.

2

Preheat a grill or grill pan to high heat. Place corn on grill and cook, turning occasionally, until half of each cob has charred grill marks, about 2 minutes on each side. Set aside until cool enough to handle.

3

Cut corn off of each cob and add to pasta. Reserve 1 tablespoon cilantro for garnish and add remaining cilantro, tomatoes, and cheese to the bowl.

4

In a separate bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder, hot sauce, and remaining salt. Whisk until well mixed.

5

Pour the dressing over the pasta mixture and toss well. Transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with additional cilantro, cheese, and chili powder as desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
