Grape tomatoes can be substituted, but because they also tend to be sweeter, you will want to reduce or even omit the sugar. Do likewise if your cherry tomatoes are very sweet, but this is less likely when using winter cherry tomatoes.

The classic succotash is made from corn and beans. In this summer garden version, fresh kernels are sauteed with green beans. You can also stir in diced bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, cubed zucchini, or carrot slices. Freshly harvested red onions are wonderfully sweet and give this saute a perfect aromatic base.

Earthy sage-infused butter makes this sweet corn linguine a summertime standout. Serve it as an indulgent, meatless main course, or pair it with lemony roasted chicken. While you simmer linguine, cook sage, garlic, and corn just until the kernels are tender but still have some bite. Then toss them with the hot pasta. Not much to it, but you’ll impress vegetarians and omnivores alike.
