Cook the whole-wheat pasta according to the package instructions, usually around 8-10 minutes, until it's al dente. Be sure to taste it to ensure it's cooked to your preference.
Yes, you can substitute frozen corn for fresh corn in this recipe. Just add it directly to the skillet with the garlic, and adjust the cooking time as necessary to ensure it's heated through.
You can use half-and-half or a combination of milk and sour cream for a lighter option. Alternatively, coconut cream can work as a dairy-free substitute.
Check the pasta a minute or two before the suggested cooking time by tasting it. It should be slightly firm with a bite (al dente) but not hard in the center.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm gently on the stove with a splash of chicken broth or cream to restore creaminess.
- 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.
