Spaghetti with Tomatoes, Prosciutto and Fresh Corn

Summer and tomatoes go hand in hand.  As do basil and corn on the cob.  During these warm and relaxing months, combining these ingredients in new ways is a joy. This pasta dish is a simple, healthy and delicious treat.  The salty prosciutto off-sets the sweet tomatoes and corn, while the basil lends an herbaceous edge that completes the dish.
