Corn pasta recipe– delicious and creamy corn pasta recipe with butter. A perfect pasta treat for toddlers and kids that you can whip up in flat 15 minutes with handful of ingredients.
I make pasta recipes very often for dinner and we love to experiment with flavors. While masala pasta and white sauce pasta remain our all time favorite, sometimes I make simple ones like this corn pasta.
To make corn pasta you need just a handful of ingredients. Corn and cheese is always a winning combo and it works great in this pasta recipe too.
Along with boiled corn and cheese, I have also added onions and tomatoes here. You can use cubed carrots, broccoli and squash also.
The flavor for this pasta comes from butter. Slightly browned butter imparts a nutty taste and flavor. To make corn pasta vegan you can use olive oil. Also you can use browned butter or clarified butter or ghee.
I have used mozzarella cheese in this recipe. Few other cheeses that go well are cheddar, four cheese. Parmesan can also be used towards the finishing of the recipe.
Serve corn pasta hot or warm. You can also cool this down and pack in toddlers and kids lunch or snacks.
