THE BEST CARBONARA
Now this is our idea of comfort food. Creamy and rich, it's the quintessential dish for a chilly evening. We like to splurge every once in a while and add a knob of butter to the cheesy egg sauce just to round it out. We've left that option up to you, however. Either way, we can't think of a more classic or satisfying pasta dish.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
- Whisk together the eggs, yolks, Parmesan, Pecorino, pepper and butter if using in a large bowl until well combined.
- Add the pasta and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta.
- Meanwhile, cook the pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 8 minutes. Add the spaghetti and half the reserved pasta cooking water to the skillet and toss to combine.
- Add the egg mixture and toss to coat. Cook, tossing continuously to avoid scrambling the eggs, until the sauce is creamy, thinning it with the remaining pasta water if it becomes too thick (it should be saucy but not watery), about 1 minute.
- Divide the pasta among plates and sprinkle with more grated Parmesan.

Steps:
- Cook spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente; drain.
- Meanwhile, fry bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels to drain (reserve fat). Scrape excess corn milk from cobs into a blender by firmly running the back of a chef's knife down the sides. Add cream, half of the corn kernels, 1/4 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. pepper, and 2 Tbsp. reserved bacon fat. Purée until a smooth sauce forms.
- Toss hot pasta with corn sauce, 1/2 cup Parmesan, and half each of the remaining corn kernels, bacon, and basil in a large bowl.
- Divide pasta among bowls and top with remaining corn kernels, bacon, and basil. Season with pepper and top with Parmesan.
CREAMY CORN PASTA WITH BACON
Corn is one of my favorite summer ingredients. It has a naturally creamy texture, making it perfect for this pasta dish. The kernels are pureed with sautéed shallots, emulating the creaminess egg yolks give to a traditional carbonara.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Heavily salt the water and cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain and reserve 2 to 3 cups of the pasta cooking water for later.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring, until the fat has rendered and the bacon is crisped, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon onto a paper towel-lined plate.
- Add the shallots to the same skillet and cook over medium heat until they have softened and start to turn translucent, 3 to 4 minutes Add the corn and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 4 to 5 minutes more.
- Transfer the corn mixture to a blender along with 1/2 cup pasta cooking water and blend until smooth and the consistency of pasta sauce. Add the sauce back to the skillet along with 1/2 cup pecorino. Stir to combine and adjust salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the pasta to the sauce and mix to combine. If the sauce feels too thick, add 1/4 cup of pasta cooking water at a time, stirring in between, until the desired consistency is reached. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup for pecorino and reserved bacon. Divide among bowls, top with chives and more pecorino and enjoy!
Tips:
- Use fresh corn for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh corn, frozen corn will also work.
- If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk or half-and-half instead. However, the sauce will be thinner.
- To make the carbonara even more flavorful, add a handful of grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce.
- If you like your carbonara spicy, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- Serve the carbonara immediately after it is cooked. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become mushy if it sits for too long.

Fresh corn carbonara is a delicious and easy-to-make pasta dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover corn. With its creamy sauce, sweet corn, and salty pancetta, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy pasta dish, give fresh corn carbonara a try.
