Ingredients

Pan-Roasted Corn
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) sweet corn, drained
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
Pasta
  • 1 box (16 ounces) spaghetti noodles
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped (about 1½ cups)
  • 1 medium white onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
Garnish
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

Pan-Roasted Corn
    Cup of Yum
  1. To a 13-inch skillet over medium-high heat, add oil. Once hot, add the corn and cook, stirring occasionally, until toasted and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  2. Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the corn to a separate bowl. Set the corn aside.
Pasta
  1. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook spaghetti pasta until al dente (9-10 minutes). Drain the spaghetti, reserving 2 cups of pasta water. Toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and set aside.
  2. To the same skillet you roasted the corn, add the bacon. Cook over medium heat until crisp (9-11 minutes). Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon onto paper towels. To the remaining grease in the pan (this should be roughly 2 tablespoons), add the onion.
  3. Once the onion is translucent (about 3-5 minutes) add the roasted corn, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook for one more minute.
  4. Reduce the heat to low. Add the spaghetti noodles, parmesan cheese, bacon, and 1 cup of pasta water. Use tongs to toss to coat, adding more pasta water if the sauce is too thick, or until it reaches your desired consistency.
  5. Serve immediately topped with parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.
