Directions
Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water. Meanwhile, with a sharp knife, cut the corn kernels off the cob and set aside. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat the butter and oil until bubbly. Add the mushrooms and shallot; sauté until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the asparagus, peas, and corn; sauté until heated throughout, about 3 minutes. Toss in the pasta and cheese; add cooking water, as needed, to create a creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into a serving bowl and sprinkle with thyme.
