    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add sausage, and cook, stirring frequently, until sausage is lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes; set aside and drain excess fat.
  3. Season shrimp with 1 1/2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning. Add shrimp to the skillet, and cook, stirring occasionally, until pink, about 2-3 minutes; set aside.
  4. Melt butter in the skillet. Add garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute.
  5. Gradually whisk in vegetable broth, heavy cream, Parmesan, thyme and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning. Cook, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add more vegetable broth as needed; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  6. Stir in pasta, sausage, shrimp and corn, and gently toss to combine.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with chives, if desired.
