- 1/4 cup Land O Lakes® Butter 1/2 stick
- 1 half shallot finely diced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream or coconut milk
- 1 ear corn shucked and roasted with kernels removed
- 2 tablespoons basil
- 2 strips bacon cooked and chopped
- ⅓- ½ cup fresh fettuccine cooked
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon shredded parmesan, diced tomatoes, toasted bread crumbs and chopped basil for garnish
In a medium sized pan, melt butter over medium heat then add shallots.
Allow butter to brown until tiny brown specks appear and a nutty aroma develops. Once butter has browned, turn heat to low and add garlic for 30-40 seconds.
Next pour in cream or coconut milk and stir together.
Add corn kernels, basil, bacon bits and fresh pasta and toss together.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, top with shredded parmesan, tomatoes, bread crumbs and fresh basil and serve.
To Store
- Let it Cool: Before storing, allow the pasta to cool to room temperature. Be careful not to leave it out for more than 2 hours to prevent bacterial growth.
- Air-Tight Container: This helps to preserve its freshness.
- Refrigerate Promptly: This pasta should be good for 3-4 days when stored properly in the fridge.
- Keep Garnishes Separate: If possible, store any fresh garnishes like chopped basil or diced tomatoes separately and add them after reheating to maintain their freshness and texture.
- Reheating Tip: Reheat it gently on the stove over medium heat, adding a splash of water or cream to loosen things up if needed.
