This was delicious and made SO MUCH. Like I could have fed 10. Suggest you consider how much pasta you usually make for your family and scale the recipe. Sweet canned corn and dried basil, while not ideal, were still tasty. Going in our rotation for sure.

As an almost-vegetarian living with an almost-vegan, I was amused by the worry about the dish tasting good without shrimp or bacon. True, those two are divine, but there's plenty of pleasure to be had without them.
We loved this dish-- very easy and made a huge amount. I used 1/2 red pepper flakes and 2 t. sea salt, and no black pepper. For protein, throw some chopped roasted almonds over the top. Absolutely delicious-- thanks!

I did cook the onion ( i used yellow onion) in a mix of oil and bacon grease. Does that defeat the purpose of Weekday Vegetarians? This came out great with medium shell pasta and chopped flat leaf parsley instead of basil. I did have to serve it with meatballs, as my "old school" husband will not think of any dish as a "meal" unless there is at least a little meat (or eggs, or fish) involved. Jenny, any ideas to get around that?

If there's an Aldi near you, they have amazing veg. meatballs you could try. I used to make my own, but no need anymore! They come in "Classic" and "Italian" varieties. Yum!
