      Blanch the kernels quickly in hot water until it turns bright yellow. Drain the kernels in a colander and rinse them with cold tap water to stop the cooking or dunk in an ice bath. Set them aside.

      Cook the pasta according to cooking instructions before draining them and rinsing them in cold water to prevent them from cooking further.
