The only cooking required by this simple menu is boiling the capellini and the corn. These can be combined if you cook the capellini in a pot with a pasta insert. When it’s al dente, transfer the pasta with the insert into a sink to drain. Bring the water remaining in the pot back to a boil and cook the corn. The whole operation should take less than 10 minutes, a relief on a sultry night.
