Cooking Steps
- Add linguine to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min.
- Reserve 1/2 cup (1 cup) pasta water, then drain and return linguine to the same pot, off heat.
- Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add corn to the dry pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook, flipping halfway through, until dark golden-brown, 4-5 min.
- Transfer corn to a plate.
- Meanwhile, zest, then cut lime into wedges.
- Cut shallot in half, peel, then cut into 1/4-inch slices.
- Core, then cut hot pepper into 1/4-inch pieces, removing seeds for less heat. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping peppers!).
- Roughly chop cilantro.
- Add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to the same pan (from step 1) over medium-high. Add peppers and shallots to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 2-3 min.
- Add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) Enchilada Spice Blend. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 min. Season with salt and pepper.
- Reduce heat to medium.
- Add cream cheese, Tex-Mex Paste and reserved pasta water to the pan with veggies.
- Cook, stirring often, until cream cheese has melted, 2-3 min.
- Add sauce, cream, corn, lime zest and half the cilantro to the pot with linguine. Toss to combine.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide pasta between bowls.
- Sprinkle over remaining cilantro and feta.
- Squeeze over a lime wedge, if desired.
