Spaghetti with Corn 🌽🍝

A simple, creamy-sweet pasta that works surprisingly well.

Ingredients — 2 servings

  • 200 g spaghetti
  • 1 cup corn kernels, drained
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • ½ cup cooking cream
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan
  • Salt & black pepper
  • Pinch of chili flakes
  • 2–3 tbsp pasta water
  • Optional: parsley, basil, lemon zest

Method

  1. Cook spaghetti in well-salted water until al dente. Reserve some pasta water.
  2. Sauté garlic in olive oil or butter for about 30 seconds.
  3. Add corn and cook 2–3 minutes until slightly caramelized.
  4. Add cream, Parmesan, pepper and chili flakes. Stir gently.
  5. Add the spaghetti and a splash of pasta water. Toss until glossy and creamy.
  6. Finish with Parmesan, black pepper and a little lemon zest.

Best upgrade: Blend ½ cup of the corn with a little pasta water and add it to the sauce. You get a naturally sweet, velvety corn sauce without needing much cream.
