Silky Creamy Corn Pasta

Healthy Fact of the Day

Sweet corn is a good source of fiber and contains vitamins B and C, as well as minerals like magnesium and potassium. It also provides antioxidants that support eye health.

Ingredients

 

  • 1 lb pasta (such as fettuccine or linguine)
  • 4 ears fresh corn, kernels removed (about 3 cups)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)

 

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.

  2. While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. Add corn kernels to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender.

  4. Transfer half of the corn mixture to a blender. Add 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water and blend until smooth.

  5. Return the blended corn to the skillet with the remaining corn. Add heavy cream and bring to a simmer.

  6. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, along with the butter and Parmesan cheese. Toss everything together, adding more pasta water as needed to create a silky sauce.

  7. Stir in torn basil leaves and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  8. Serve hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese, basil, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if desired.

 

Twirl your fork into this luscious creamy corn pasta and let the sweet essence of summer dance on your palate – a comforting dish that marries the sunny brightness of fresh corn with the indulgent richness of cream and cheese, creating a pasta experience that’s both familiar and excitingly new!

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
