Prep Time: 20 minutesCook Time: 10 minutesTotal Time: 30 minutesIngredients:
- 3/4 lb. fusilli or shells
- 2 ears corn
- 2 medium tomatoes (or equivalent)
- 1/2 lb. green beans
- 1 jalapeno chile (optional)
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 cup grated fresh pecorino, crumbled feta, or cheese of your choice

- Trim green beans and cut into 1- to 2-inch lengths and set aside.

- In the empty pasta pot (if it's not toobig) or a large frying pan or saute pan heat oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and chile and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add beans, 1/4 cup of water, and salt. Cover and cook 3 minutes. Add corn, cover and cook 2 minutes. Add pasta and tomatoes and stir to combine and heat everything. Serve hot, warm, or set it aside to cool and serve later - this dish also works as a pasta salad!
