Let’s have a detailed look at the ingredients and instructions of creating this pasta.
The Ingredients You Will Need
What are the ingredients for this quick-and-easy sweet corn pasta? Let’s take a look below:
- A bunch of shard
- Freshly chopped green chilies (2)
- Corn on the cob kernels/ 350oz frozen corn
- Extra virgin olive oil
- 400g orecchiette/ pasta
- Lemon juice and zest
- Salt
- 250 ricotta
Step-By-Step Instructions
Now that you have the ingredients ready, let’s get to looking at how you will cook the pasta one step at a time.
- Boil The Water
The first thing that you need to do is get hold of a large pan in which you place water for the pasta. Add the salt in the water, and let it reach the boiling stage. While you let the water boil, make sure to chop up the shards and prepare the corn. Frozen corns will require some defrost time, so try to take them out beforehand if you’re planning on using them.
- Get The Pasta Ready
Once you find that the water is boiling, it is time that you get the pasta out and add it to the pan with boiling water. Read out the instructions mentioned on the package to know how long it will take to be ready. Test out a couple of the pasta to make sure it is al dente.
- Bring Out The Corn
Now, you want to make sure that you prepare the corn alongside the pasta as well. You want to make sure that you get the kernels out from the cob or make sure that the frozen corn has been defrosted. Once this is done, grab hold of another pan, add the vegetable oil, then add the corn, season with salt and pepper, and keep moving them around for about five minutes. This will give them enough time to get tender.
- Add The Shards
Next, we want to make sure that you add the shards and the chilies into the mix as well. When you see that the leaves have taken on a different, more wilted shape, this is when you stop cooking the ingredients together. It is time to move on to the next step.
- Mix It All Together
The last thing that you need to do is get everything together. In the pan with the corn and the shard, add the pasta once it has been drained. Once you do this, you will also need to add the chees, lemon juice, a bit of lemon zest, a dash of basil, and remaining pasta water to ensure that everything is mixed properly. You will find this recipe to be simple to make while offering you’re a great taste.
