Butter corn pasta is one of the easy pasta recipes and a favourite among the kids. 

If we have pasta sauce in hand, we can do this in a jiff, if not we can also use finely chopped tomatoes or pureed tomato. 

Butter Corn Pasta

We can also add finely chopped bellpeppers to it to make it more nutritious and colourful. 

Adding cheese is an optional here, it tastes good even without the cheese.

Ingredients:

• Pasta - 1 cup (I used small Ditalini Pasta)
• Sweet corn, frozen - 1/2 cup 
• Pasta sauce - About 1/2 cup (use as needed)
• Butter - 1 Tbsp
• Basil leaves / Italian seasoning - to taste
• Salt - to taste
• Pepper powder - to taste
• Mozzarella cheese, grated - as required (Optional)
• Water - as required

 Notes:

• This time I have used store brought Organic Garden vegetable Pasta sauce here and you can find one of my home made pasta sauce recipe here: Homemade Pasta Sauce
• If we are not having pasta sauce in hand, we can replace it with pureed tomatoes or tomato paste. In that case, add finely chopped clove of garlic while sautéing and a little more Italian seasoning at the end
• For make it more interesting and colorful, we can add finely chopped coloured bellpeppers along with the sweet corn

Method:

• Cook pasta as per the package instructions; (Boil water; add pasta with little salt and cook for about 10 mins until slightly soft yet crunchy enough to bite)

• I have used frozen sweet corn here so I didn't pre cooked it. If we are using normal corn, we need to cook it separately and add
• While the pasta is cooking, heat a pan and once it becomes hot, add butter. Once the butter got melted, add the sweet corn kernels and saute for 2-3 mins in medium flame

• Sprinkle little salt and pepper, mix well and cook covered for another 2 mins until it gets cooked
• Add the pasta sauce to the cooked corn

• Mix well and saute for 2 mins

• Add the cooked and drained pasta

• Mix well until the pasta get combined with the sauce. If its very dry, we can add little water / broth or even pasta cooked water

• Cook in low flame for 2 mins, sprinkle Italian seasoning and switch off

• If we are using cheese, we can add it now and mix well
• Serve hot with little cheese sprinkled on top
