This simple, tasty summer dish is traditionally made with egg ribbons, but vegans can substitute ribbons made of hearty whole grain flours.

Serves: 6

• One 12-ounce package ribbon noodles (try spelt or quinoa noodles)
• 2 tablespoons light olive oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 3 heaping cups ripe, juicy tomatoes, diced
• 3 cups cooked fresh corn kernels (from about 4 medium ears)
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, or more, to taste
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Bring plenty of water to a boil in a large pot. Cook the noodles according to package directions until al dente, then drain.

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the onion and sauté over low heat until they are lightly browned. Add the tomatoes and 1/4 cup water, and cook just until they soften up, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the corn and parsley and simmer just until everything is well heated through.

Transfer the skillet mixture to a large serving bowl. Add the hot cooked noodles and season to taste with salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper. Serve at once.
