4.Put the olive oil and garlic in the bottom of a large bowl. Drain your pasta well and add it to the garlic and oil while it is still hot, and toss thoroughly. The hot pasta will cook the garlic and mellow the flavor. Add the tomatoes, corn, pecans, goat cheese and basil and gently toss to distribute throughout the pasta. The goat cheese will melt into the hot pasta creating a creamy sauce. Drizzle with lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.
