Ingredients

• 400 grams spaghetti
• 1.5 cups sweet corn (frozen or fresh)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
• 3 pieces garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (finely chopped, for garnish)
• 4 liters water

Directions

Step 1

Bring 4 liters of water to a rolling boil in a large pot. Add a generous pinch of salt and cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti and set aside.

Step 2

Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sweet corn to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream and milk. Stir well to combine and let the mixture heat through for about 2 minutes.

Step 6

Add the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and optional red chili flakes. Stir continuously until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss until the pasta is evenly coated in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Turn off the heat and sprinkle fresh parsley over the pasta.

Step 9

Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and parsley if desired.
