- 8 ounces uncooked whole wheat fettuccine
- 2 medium ears sweet corn husked
- 2 teaspoons plus 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper
- 4 green onions chopped
- 2 medium tomatoes chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add fettuccine and cook according to package directions, adding the corn ears during the last 8 minutes of cooking.
Meanwhile, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped red pepper and green onions, cooking and stirring for about 3-5 minutes until tender.
Once the pasta and corn are cooked, drain them together. Transfer the fettuccine to a large serving bowl.
Set the corn aside to cool slightly, then carefully cut it off the cobs with a sharp knife. Add the kernels to the pasta bowl.
Stir in the chopped tomatoes, salt, pepper, the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and the sautéed pepper mixture. Toss gently to combine.
Top the pasta with crumbled feta cheese and sprinkle it with fresh parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!
