Ingredients

• 8 oz spaghetti
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 15 oz cream-style corn
• 15 oz canned sweet corn kernels, drained
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 tsp paprika
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

Step 2

Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the cream-style corn, sweet corn kernels, and heavy cream, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is warmed through. Reduce the heat to low.

Step 5

Gradually add 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, and all of the grated parmesan cheese to the skillet, stirring until the cheeses have melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 6

Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Step 7

Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss until the pasta is evenly coated in the cheesy sauce.

Step 8

Transfer the spaghetti mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, before serving.
