Features Wildly Beloved Foods pasta, which is crafted with high-quality Italian semolina flour and easy on sensitive stomachs thanks to our Safer Gluten approach.
Ingredients:
-
3–4 ears of fresh corn
-
2 tbsp butter
-
2 tbsp olive oil (lemon-infused if you have it — trust us, it’s worth it)
-
1 shallot, finely chopped
-
2–4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
-
A few tablespoons of all-purpose flour
-
½ cup heavy cream
-
½ cup milk
-
1 package of Wildly Beloved Foods Pappardelle Undulate Medio - Spinach - Vegan - Fresh Pasta
-
Reserved pasta water
-
½–1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
Chopped parsley and fresh lemon juice to finish
Instructions:
-
Boil the corn until tender (about 5–7 minutes), then remove kernels from the cob.
-
In a large pot, melt butter and olive oil over medium heat. If you’ve got lemon-infused oil, this is its time to shine 🍋.
-
Add the shallot and garlic to the pot, cooking until soft and fragrant. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Stir in a few tablespoons of flour, followed by the corn. Mix well.
-
Slowly pour in the cream and milk, stirring constantly to create a smooth sauce.
-
Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Before draining, reserve a bit of pasta water.
-
Add a splash of pasta water to the sauce, thinning it out slightly (it’ll thicken again once the cheese is added).
-
Stir in the cooked pasta and Parmesan. Toss to coat everything in the creamy corn sauce.
-
Finish with chopped parsley and a generous squeeze of lemon juice.
Optional: Add thick-cut bacon for a smoky twist. 😍
Make It Your Own
No lemon olive oil? Just squeeze a bit of fresh lemon juice in with the garlic and shallot for a hit of brightness. Want to up the protein? Grilled chicken or pancetta would be perfect here.
This dish is a delicious reminder that simple is often best — especially when you’re using high-quality ingredients that speak for themselves.
