Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 ounces spaghetti or linguine
Kosher salt
6 slices thick-cut bacon (about 6 ounces), cut into 1/4" strips
4 ears of corn, kernels cut off (about 3 cups), cobs reserved
1/2 cup heavy cream
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan (about 2 ounces), plus more to serve
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, coarsely chopped, divided

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.

I was skeptical about using corn in a carbonara, but I'm glad I tried it. The corn added a sweetness and texture that really complemented the bacon and Parmesan cheese. I'll definitely be making this dish again.
