Ingredients

  • 8 ounces of pasta
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ tablespoon flour
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese
  • ¼ chicken broth
  • ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¾ heavy cream or whipping cream
  • 4 ears of JMB corn
  • ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup loosely packed fresh basil, torn/chopped
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Start by slicing the kernels off 4 ears of JMB sweet corn into a bowl and set aside
  • Boil a salted pot of water for the pasta and cook it al dente according to package directions
  • When the pasta is about 10 minutes away from being done, add butter to a skillet over medium heat. Once it melted, sprinkle in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add in minced garlic, followed by the chicken broth, chili powder, and Italian seasoning. Let it bubble for about 30 seconds.
  • Whisk in the cream and then add the corn. Let the sauce cook for a few minutes until it has thickened to your liking.
  • Stir in the parmesan cheese, ricotta cheese, and basil. Remove the skillet from heat.
  • Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss until coated (you can add a tablespoon or so of pasta water to the sauce if it becomes too thick).
  • Season with salt and pepper as needed.
  • Serve immediately.
