Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Kosher salt
9 ounces fusilli (about 3 1/2 cups)
1 bunch thin asparagus (about 1 pound), cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 ears of corn, shucked
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1/2 head fennel, cored and thinly sliced
Freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
3 tablespoons shredded asiago cheese, plus more for topping
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

  • Meanwhile, slice the corn kernels off the cobs. Run the back side of the knife down the cob over a bowl to remove any corn milk. You should get about 2 tablespoons.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, fennel, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; cook until the fennel is browned in spots and tender, about 4 minutes. Add the corn kernels and corn milk and another 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the pasta and 1 cup cooking water to the skillet and cook, stirring, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley, cheese, tarragon and butter until creamy, adding more cooking water as needed to loosen; season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide the pasta among bowls. Top with more cheese and pepper; drizzle with olive oil.
