Combining pasta with loose sausage and one peak-season vegetable is my go-to when I need a dinner I can throw together without thinking too hard. Corn is great here, but chopped up tomatoes, broccoli, summer squash, and even green beans are fair game. The not-so-secret is a handful of parm and a knob of butter right at the end, which turn a handful of humble ingredients into a rich, saucy, cohesive dish. —Chris Morocco
