Creamy sweet corn and brown butter ricotta pasta made with 4 core ingredients and fresh garnishes. The luscious sauce in this summery pasta dish is made right in the blender with ricotta and sweet corn! Enjoy this wonderful, comforting dinner as is, or customize it with your fav seasonal veggies and proteins.
I had been dreaming up a new, unique way to use up sweet corn a couple of summers ago and remembered this simple yet incredibly delicious pasta recipe I had made with rich brown butter and acorn squash as the sauce. Why not turn sautéed corn into an equally as luscious sauce?
That’s how this brown butter corn pasta came to life. I love that this wonderful meal only requires a few ingredients, but the result is the perfect combo of sweet, savory, creamy and fresh. You’ll blend sweet corn right in with some ricotta to make the sauce, and then mix in the rest of those delicious kernels. Long story short, this might just be your new fav way to use up the last of that summer corn, so load up at the farmer’s market or grocery store and get to it!
