Summer Saute w/ Penne and Pesto Chevre and Sweet Corn's Season Premier!

Meal 1: Penne w/ Summer Saute, Pesto Chevre, and Oil Cured Tomatoes, Green Salad, & Sicilian Cauliflower.

·     Warm the penne in the microwave to get the chill out.

·     Toss the cauliflower in a saute pan with a little olive oil if necessary.  Season with salt and pepper, which we omitted, and transfer to a serving plate.

·     Reserve the pesto chevre.  Heat the veggies and tomato in a saute pan with a little olive oil if necessary.  When hot, add the noodles and toss to dress evenly. Add a little olive oil if need be. Fold in knobs of chevre and serve.

·     Dress the salad.

Meal 2: Sweet Corn Tamales, Pinto Bean-Corn Salad, Latin Cole Slaw

·        Warm the tamales.  A microwave works great.  You can also steam them for 5-8 minutes in a steamer basket.  Also, and what I do, is to pan fry them in a generous helping of fat ( butter is great ) in a non stick pan.  About 2 minutes per side to brown them nicely.  Out of this world with a little yogurt and chopped tomato.

·        Serve the bean salad at room temp or you can heat it in the skillet - yum!

·        Toss the slaw and season it with salt, which we omitted.
