This dish is full of summery goodness, from the crisp pop of sweet corn to the pungent freshness of basil to the juiciness of cherry tomatoes—all mingled together with al dente spaghetti. A little pasta water helps to create a light sauce that coats each strand. With a plate of pasta this luscious and delicious, you might not even notice that it’s vegan. But with all the peak-season produce, you won’t miss any meat or cheese.
