Provided by Abbey

Categories     Main Dish

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 ounces long fusilli pasta (or pasta shape of choice)
5 slices thick-cut bacon (cut into 1-inch pieces)
1/2 yellow onion (diced)
3 ears sweet corn (sliced off of the cob (or 10 ounces frozen) )
14.75 ounces canned cream-style corn
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil (drained and sliced)
4 ounces smoked mozzarella cheese (shredded)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
salt (to taste)

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta in salted water (use 2 teaspoons salt) according to package directions. Before draining, reserve 1 cup of the pasta water. Drain - but don't rinse - the pasta. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, preheat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until brown and crisp, approx. 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Drain the excess fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan.
  • To the skillet, add the onion and the fresh corn and saute for 5 minutes or until the onion has softened. Add the creamed corn and black pepper and cook over medium-low for 5 minutes.
  • Add the pasta, 1/2 cup of the pasta water, and the heavy cream. Toss until well-combined, adding more pasta water if necessary to bring the sauce together. Stir in the cheese. Add the bacon and sun-dried tomatoes, reserving some for garnishing. Season with salt to taste if necessary.

CREAMY CORN PASTA WITH BASIL



Creamy Corn Pasta With Basil image

There's no cream in this wonderfully summery pasta dish, just a luscious sauce made from puréed fresh corn and sweet sautéed scallions, along with Parmesan for depth and red chile flakes for a contrasting bite. Be sure to add the lemon juice and fresh herbs at the end; the rich pasta really benefits from their bright, fresh flavors. And while this is best made at the height of corn season, it's still quite good even with out-of-season supermarket ears, or with frozen corn.

Categories     pastas, main course

Time 30m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Fine sea salt
12 ounces dry orecchiette or farfalle
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 bunch scallions (about 8), trimmed and thinly sliced (keep the whites and greens separate)
2 large ears corn, shucked and kernels removed (2 cups kernels)
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, more for serving
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, more to taste
1/3 cup torn basil or mint, more for garnish
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
Fresh lemon juice, as needed

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until 1 minute shy of al dente, according to the package directions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in large sauté pan over medium heat; add scallion whites and a pinch of salt and cook until soft, 3 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water and all but 1/4 cup corn; simmer until corn is heated through and almost tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, transfer to a blender, and purée mixture until smooth, adding a little extra water if needed to get a thick but pourable texture.
  • Heat the same skillet over high heat. Add butter and let melt. Add reserved 1/4 cup corn and cook until tender, 1 to 2 minutes. (It's O.K. if the butter browns; that deepens the flavor.) Add the corn purée and cook for 30 seconds to heat and combine the flavors.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add pasta and half the reserved pasta cooking water, tossing to coat. Cook for 1 minute, then add a little more of the pasta cooking water if the mixture seems too thick. Stir in 1/4 cup of the scallion greens, the Parmesan, the herbs, the red pepper flakes, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Sprinkle with fresh lemon juice to taste. Transfer to warm pasta bowls and garnish with more scallions, herbs, a drizzle of olive oil and black pepper.

Corn is one of my favorite summer ingredients. It has a naturally creamy texture, making it perfect for this pasta dish. The kernels are pureed with sautéed shallots, emulating the creaminess egg yolks give to a traditional carbonara.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound spaghetti
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup grated pecorino, plus more for garnish
1 bunch chives, thinly sliced

  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring, until the fat has rendered and the bacon is crisped, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon onto a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Add the shallots to the same skillet and cook over medium heat until they have softened and start to turn translucent, 3 to 4 minutes Add the corn and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 4 to 5 minutes more.

Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup for pecorino and reserved bacon. Divide among bowls, top with chives and more pecorino and enjoy!
