Instructions

• Fill a big pot with water for pasta. Cook pasta according to package instructions.

  Using the vegetable peeler, slice off zucchini ribbons...as many as you can.

  Set zucchini aside.
• Heat a medium size skillet to medium heat. When hot, add 1 teaspoon olive oil.

  Add, green beans and corn, sauté until corn begins to turn golden.

  Add tomatoes and sauté give them a little sprinkle of kosher salt and a few cracks of black pepper.

  Cook, stirring frequently, for about 3-4 minutes. Just until they start to burst and look blistered.

  Remove tomatoes and other veggies from pan and place in a small dish and set aside.
• Add another 1 teaspoon olive oil to the empty pan and add garlic or shallots.

  Stir constantly on medium-low heat for about 30-60 seconds. Add chicken broth.

  Bring to a simmer and use a spatula to scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 1-2 minutes and then reduce heat to low.
• Place cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl and soften for 20-30 seconds, until it can be easily stirred smooth.

  Ladle in a couple spoonfuls of the chicken broth mixture into the cream cheese and stir to combine.

  Once the mixture is smooth, add it to the pan with the remaining broth mixture and whisk until smooth and creamy.

  Add chopped basil and lemon juice and stir to combine.

  Add 1/4 cup of cream and taste sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste. (Feel free to squeeze in extra lemon juice at this point.)
• When pasta is just about done, add zucchini ribbon strips to pot (so they’re cooking with the pasta).

  Boil for about 2 minutes, or until tender.

  Drain zucchini and pasta and combine with sauce.

  Toss in tomatoes, green beans and corn. Garnish with additional basil if desired.
