Ingredients:
| 1/2 pound pasta, cooked penne, orecchitte or similar type |
| 4 oz. Neufchâtel cheese |
| 3/4 cup vegetable broth |
| 1 tsp. lemon juice |
| 1 tsp. corn starch |
| 1 tsp. water |
| Kosher salt |
| white pepper, ground |
| 1 cup baby peas, fresh or frozen |
| 2 cups corn kernels, fresh or frozen |
| 2 Tbsp. olive oil |
Directions:
- In a small saucepan, over medium-high heat, add the vegetable broth and Neufchatel cheese.
- Stir until the cheese is melted and combined well with the broth. Stir in the lemon juice.
- Turn the sauce down to low heat and stir occasionally.
- In a saute pan, drizzle the olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the peas. Stir the peas so that they don't burn and keep on the heat for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the corn and stir for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and stir to combine.
- Turn off the heat. In a small dish, mix the corn starch and water together until there are no clumps.

- Add the pea and corn mixture to the sauce and stir to combine.
- Season with the kosher salt and white pepper.
- Serve over the pasta.
