Ingredients
  

12 oz fettuccine pasta

4 ears of fresh corn, grilled and kernels removed

2 tbsp olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 small onion, diced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup vegetable broth

1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for a kick)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Extra Parmesan for serving

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving about 1 cup of pasta water.

    Roast the Corn: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the corn for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred and tender. Let it cool slightly, then cut the kernels off the cobs and set them aside.

      Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

        Make the Cream Sauce: Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream and vegetable broth, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer and let cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken.

          Incorporate Cheddar Flavor: Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Stir in the smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), and season with salt and pepper to taste.

            Add the Roasted Corn and Pasta: Fold in the grilled corn kernels and the cooked fettuccine. Toss everything together to ensure the pasta is evenly coated. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.

              Serve: Plate the creamy fettuccine, garnishing with fresh basil leaves and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Enjoy your deliciously creamy roasted corn fettuccine!
