50g
2 cobs sweet corn
200g
3 garlic cloves
9g
3 cups cherry tomatoes
450g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
2 cups chicken soup
480g
1.01 cup heavy whipping cream
240g
8 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
40g
4 oz whole-wheat pasta
110g
2 tbsp basil
11g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Cut the bacon into small pieces.
- Shuck the corn and slice the kernels off the cobs.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes.
- Chop the fresh basil finely.
2. Cook the Pasta:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Cook the whole-wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente.
- Drain the pasta and set aside.
3. Cook the Bacon:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the bacon pieces and cook until crispy.
- Remove the cooked bacon with a slotted spoon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Leave the bacon fat in the skillet.
4. Prepare the Sauce:
- In the same skillet with the bacon fat, add the minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Add the corn kernels and halved cherry tomatoes. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the tomatoes start to soften and break down.
- Season with a dash of salt and black pepper.

6. Serve:
- Plate the pasta in individual serving bowls.
- Garnish with extra grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil or parsley if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Bacon Corn Pasta!

Tips:

- Use fresh corn for the best flavor, but if it’s not in season, canned or frozen corn can be used as well.

- Cook the pasta al dente as it will continue to cook when mixed with the other ingredients.

- Save some pasta water before draining, in case you need to adjust the sauce consistency later.

- For a touch of heat, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes.

- Garnish with extra basil and Parmesan cheese for an added layer of flavor.

With its harmonious blend of textures and flavors, Bacon Corn Pasta is sure to become a favorite in your recipe repertoire. Whether savored on a bustling weeknight or a relaxed weekend, this dish is a testament to the joy of simple, yet decadent, home cooking.
