Delicious and easy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I saw this recipe years ago when the show was originally broadcast and I've been making it ever since. It's a great, easy... summer recipe. I'll admit that I've even cheated and used canned beans, which as long as you don't cook them but just heat them through, work well too in a pinch. The flavors are fresh and work well together. It's a great vegetarian main dish with the complete protein from the combination of the beans & corn. Read more

unique and delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a perfect late summer meal, best when all of these ingredients are at their peak. I served this as a sauce for pasta... and it was delicious as I think it would be a bit overwhelming on it's own. Very rich, very tasty.Read more

I did not make the full recipe... I made the sage pesto and used it on pasta. The pesto is delicious... sweet and tasty.
