Chef's Notes
Do not skip the cold water rinse on the pasta unless you enjoy a warm, sad, sticky noodle tragedy.
Pro Tip
Leftover grilled corn straight off the cob can completely substitute the pan-charring step if you are feeling wonderfully lazy.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you fail to thaw your frozen corn properly before tossing it into a hot, oiled skillet, you will create a violent, sputtering oil volcano that will demand a hazmat suit.
