Meanwhile, in a small skillet, heat 2 tea-
spoons oil over medium-high heat. Add red
pepper and green onions; cook and stir until
tender.
Drain pasta and corn; transfer pasta to a
large bowl. Cool corn slightly; cut corn from
cob and add to pasta. Add tomatoes, salt,
pepper, remaining oil and the pepper and on-
ion mixture; toss to combine. Sprinkle with
