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.
