Instructions
Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
Sauté the Corn: In a skillet over medium-high heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Add the corn and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until it starts to brown. Set aside to cool.
Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and cooled pasta, sautéed corn, diced jalapeño, red onion, and cilantro.
Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pour over the pasta mixture.
Add Cheese: Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese into the pasta salad.
Toss and Chill: Mix everything until well combined. For the best flavor, let it chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.
