Creamy Corn Pasta with Basil

Creamy Corn Pasta with Basil tastes delicious and is wonderful in summer when Corn is at its peak. This is a great pasta and one we always look forward to making when good fresh Corn starts showing up at the market. There is something about really sweet summer Corn that makes the dish work.

The Basil is the perfect complement to the Corn. It sets off the sweetness of the Corn without overwhelming it, and the two just taste like they belong together. The Corn makes the pasta creamy without making it feel heavy, which is exactly what you want in the summer.

This is one of those dishes that reminds you why cooking with ingredients when they are in season makes such a difference. You could probably make it at other times of the year, but why would you? When Corn and Basil are both at their peak, this pasta is delicious.
