Preparation

Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta.
 
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add oil, 2 turns of the pan. Add corn and brown at edges, 5-7 minutes. Add peppers, onions, scallion whites, garlic, bay, thyme, salt and pepper; stir 5-7 minutes more. Add stock and basil, stir in crème fraiche, reduce heat and simmer over low heat.
