kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 persian cucumbers, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
2 pints mini heirloom cherry tomatoes or other cherry tomatoes, halved

2 cups fresh corn kernels (from 4 about ears)
1 medium shallot, thinly sliced (about 1/2 cup)

Directions:
Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold running water to cool the pasta and stop the cooking process. Drain well and set aside.
