1
In a food processor, pulse the flour with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
2
With the machine on, add 4 of the eggs, 1 at a time.
3
If the mixture is too dry to gather into a ball, add up to 1 more egg.
4
Process until smooth and elastic, about 3 minutes.
5
Cover with a bowl and let rest for 15 minutes.
6
Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces.
7
Working with 1 piece at a time and keeping the rest covered, roll the dough through successively narrower settings of a pasta machine, ending with the narrowest setting.

Repeat with the 3 remaining pieces of dough.

Spread the cornmeal on 2 large baking sheets.
11
Working with 1 strip of dough at a time, wind the pasta around a thick knitting needle in a tight spiral.
12
Slide the pasta off the needle onto a prepared baking sheet so that it forms a loose coil.
13
Let the pasta dry for about 1 hour.
14
Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons of the oil in a large skillet.

Add the bacon and cook over moderate heat until most of the fat is rendered, about 5 minutes.
16
Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 4 minutes.

Add all but 1/3 cup of the corn to the skillet and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until the corn is browned, about 4 minutes.
18
Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil.

Add the cream and boil, stirring, until reduced by about one-third, 3 to 5 minutes.

Add the thyme and season well with salt and pepper.

Heat the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a nonreactive skillet.

Add reserved 1/3 cup corn and sautee over moderate heat until toasted, about 3 minutes.
23
Add the tomatoes and vinegar and season with salt and pepper.
