- Roast the corn until you have nice grill marks, either on a grill or in a frying pan. If using a frying pan, try boiling the corn first for 3-5 minutes to help the cooking process. Allow the corn to cool then slice the kernels off the cob. Set aside. Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and allow it to cool to room temperature.
- Assemble the pasta salad by adding the cooked pasta to a large bowl. Add in the roasted corn, red onion, green onions, cilantro and mix well. Add the crema to the pasta salad and mix through. Add in 1/3 or more of the Vegan Cotija Cheese and mix through.
- Served best at room temp with lime wedges and additional Vegan Cotija Cheese.
