CREAM CORN LIKE NO OTHER



Cream Corn Like No Other image

This is NOTHING like canned creamed corn! My husband is not a fan of corn or creamed dishes, but he thinks this is great. Easy and quick to prepare and is an especially delicious side dish for chicken or pork. Everyone always asks for the recipe.

CORN AGNOLOTTI WITH TARRAGON BUTTER

Creamed corn has never been so sophisticated! This delicate, creamy filling deserves the equally subtle flavor of good, fresh pasta, so make this sometime when you are inspired to make your own pasta, or if you find a source for really fresh, homemade pasta sheets.

Yield 4 to 6 servings (about 40 agnolotti)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup cornmeal
1 recipe Fresh Pasta (page 222)
2 (14.75-ounce) cans creamed corn, drained well
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese (4 ounces)
1/4 cup soft fresh goat cheese (2 ounces)
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 egg, for egg wash
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/3 cup corn kernels (fresh or canned)
1 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Sprinkle a baking sheet with some of the cornmeal and set aside. Cut the ball of pasta dough into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a rectangle about the size of a deck of cards. Cover the dough with plastic wrap while you are working. Roll a rectangle of dough through the widest setting of a pasta machine 3 times, until it is smooth. Continue rolling it through, decreasing the setting each time until you have reached the thinnest setting. Sprinkle the sheet lightly with cornmeal, gently fold it, and set it on the cornmeal-lined baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap. Continue rolling out the rest of the pasta until all 8 pieces have been rolled out.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the drained creamed corn, mascarpone cheese, goat cheese, tarragon, and pepper. Stir to combine and set aside. In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water.
  • To form the agnolotti, place a sheet of pasta on a dry work surface. Using a pastry brush, brush the entire sheet of fresh pasta with the egg wash. Place rounded teaspoons (about 1 ounce) of the corn filling on the pasta sheet, about 2 inches apart. Carefully place another sheet of pasta over the mounds, smoothing out any air pockets and firmly sealing the pasta around the filling. Using a scalloped pasta cutter (or a sharp knife), cut the pasta into small squares. Transfer the agnolotti to the cornmeal-lined baking sheet. Continue forming the remaining agnolotti.
  • To serve, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until they float, about 2 minutes. While the pasta cooks, gently mix together all the tarragon butter ingredients in a medium serving bowl. Drain the pasta, using a large mesh strainer or slotted spoon, and transfer them to the serving bowl with the tarragon butter. Toss to coat. Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 servings (about 40 tortelli)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 recipe fresh pasta, recipe follows
1/4 cup cornmeal, for storing pasta
2 (14.75-ounce) cans creamed corn, drained well (about 1 1/2 cups total)
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese (4 ounces)
1/4 cup goat cheese (2 ounces)
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh tarragon leaves
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 egg, for egg wash
1/2 cup butter (1 stick), room temperature
1/3 cup corn (canned or fresh)
1 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon leaves
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup grated Parmesan, for garnish
3 cups all-purpose flour
4 eggs
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • For the Corn Tortelli:
  • Begin by rolling out the pasta dough. Sprinkle a baking sheet with cornmeal and set aside. Cut a piece of the dough off the ball and shape into a rectangle about the size of a deck of cards. Cover the remaining dough with plastic wrap until you are ready to use it. Roll the rectangle of dough through the widest setting of the pasta machine a few times until it is smooth. Then roll it through the remaining settings to the thinnest setting. Sprinkle the sheet lightly with cornmeal, gently fold, place on the cornmeal-lined baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Continue rolling out the rest of the pasta.
  • Next, in a medium bowl mix together the drained creamed corn, mascarpone cheese, goat cheese, tarragon, and pepper. Stir to combine and set aside. In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water and set aside.
  • To form the tortelli, place a sheet of pasta on a dry work surface. Using a pastry brush dipped in the egg wash, brush the entire sheet of fresh pasta. Place rounded teaspoons (about 1 ounce) of the corn filling on the pasta sheet, about 2 inches apart. Carefully place another sheet of pasta over the mounds, smoothing out any air pockets and firmly sealing the pasta around the filling. Using a scalloped pasta cutter (or a sharp knife) cut the pasta into small squares. Transfer the Tortelli to the cornmeal-lined baking sheet. Continue forming the remaining tortelli.
  • To make the Tarragon Butter: In a medium bowl, gently mix together all the ingredients.
  • To serve, place the Tarragon Butter in a large serving bowl. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until they float, about 2 minutes. Drain pasta, using a large mesh strainer or slotted spoon, into the bowl with the Tarragon Butter. Toss to coat. Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve immediately.
  • Place the flour in a food processor. In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the salt and olive oil to the eggs and stir to combine. Add the egg mixture to the food processor. Pulse to combine the ingredients, scraping down the sides once or twice. Continue, with the machine running, until the liquid is evenly distributed, about 1 minute. The dough should stick together if pinched between your fingers. The dough will be cornmeal-yellow in color. Some of the dough will be sticking together, but it will not form a single ball.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Press the dough into a ball and knead gently until the dough is smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.
  • Roll out the dough to your desired shape.
