A vibrant and fresh pasta sauce made with raw summer tomatoes and sweet corn, perfect for a light and flavorful meal.
Crush the garlic with the salt in a garlic press or mortar to create a paste.
Crushing garlic with salt helps to release its oils and enhances its flavor.
Mix the garlic paste with the olive oil in a large mixing bowl.
Letting the garlic sit in the oil for a few minutes infuses the oil with its flavor.
Chop the tomatoes into small cubes and add them to the bowl with their juices.
Use ripe tomatoes for the best flavor and juiciness.
Cut the corn kernels off the cob and add them to the bowl.
Stand the cob upright in a bowl to catch the kernels as you cut them off.
Finely chop the basil and parsley and mix them into the bowl.
Chop the herbs just before adding them to keep their flavor fresh.
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, then drain.
Reserve a cup of pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency if needed.
Toss the cooked pasta with the sauce and serve immediately.
Serve with a sprinkle of grated cheese or a cheese alternative for added richness.
