Thomas McNaughton turns corn into an impressive pasta filling
Since opening San Francisco's Flour + Water restaurant, chef Thomas McNaughton has been justly lauded by diners for his wood-fired Neapolitan-style pizzas. But his culinary skills go beyond the perfect pie. In fact, he became a veritable master of macaroni while working at a pasta factory in Bologna. His corn cappelletti, a stuffed pasta that's a variation on ravioli, transforms the summer corn crop into a light and creamy pasta filling. You can re-create this amazing recipe at home using fresh pasta sheets from a top-notch vendor--or by making your own.
