Summer Corn Pasta

There are only a few more weeks left of summer, so I made one of my fiances favorites before the corn on the cob disappears!  Give it a try!

I apologize ahead of time, as I don't really measure when I cook I mostly eye ball everything : )

Ingredients:
- 2 or 3 Corn on the Cobs (cut off the cob)
-handful of Brown Rice Pasta (I use this as a healthier alternative to white pasta.  Also, base your amount of pasta on how many servings you are cooking for)
-1/2 or 1 Bell Pepper (red orange or yellow)
-1/3 or 1/2 an Onion
-EVOO
- 1/2 C to 1 Cup of Light cream or half and half
-Chicken Broth (I only added about 1/4 C)
-salt, pepper, onion powder, parsley and basil
-*Chicken (I added chicken for some protein, this dish can be made without)

Cook chicken.  Cook pasta according to directions.  In a large pot, heat some extra virgin olive oil on medium/medium-high heat.  Saute (about 5 minutes) the peppers and onions and about 3/4 of the corn on the cob.  In a food processor, process the cream with the rest of the corn.  Bring the pot down to a simmer and add the mixture to the pot.  Add a little chicken broth and let simmer and thicken.  Once pasta and chicken are cooked, toss into the pot and season with spices to taste and enjoy!
