How to Make Creamy Sweet Corn & Brown Butter Ricotta Pasta
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the tagliatelle according to the package instructions. Remember to reserve ¾ cup of the pasta water before draining to create a silky sauce.
- In a large skillet, melt ¼ cup of salted butter over medium heat until it turns brown and creates a delightful nutty aroma, which should take about 5 minutes.
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter or olive oil to the skillet. Once melted, throw in the fresh sweet corn and sauté until it becomes tender, about 3-5 minutes.
- Stir in the ricotta, salt, and the reserved pasta water. Continue to mix until everything is well combined and creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Add the cooked tagliatelle to the skillet, using tongs to thoroughly combine it with the sauce until every strand is coated in that luscious mixture.
- Generously add freshly ground salt and pepper to taste, bringing out the rich flavors of the pasta and sauce.
- Remove the skillet from heat and gently fold in the fresh basil and sliced green onions for a pop of color and flavor before serving.

Notes
Always reserve pasta water before draining to achieve the perfect creaminess in your sauce. Avoid overcooking the corn; it should be tender but still slightly crisp for the best texture.
