Spinach With Corn Recipes

CREAMY CORN-AND-SPINACH PASTA

Steps:

• Strip corn kernels from cobs (you should have about 2 cups); reserve. Place cobs in a large pot filled with water, season generously with salt, and bring to a boil. Add pasta; cook 2 minutes less than package directions. Reserve 1 1/2 cups pasta water, remove and discard corncobs, and drain.
• Return pot to medium-high heat; swirl in butter. Add scallion whites and light-greens and corn kernels, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; add spinach, both cheeses, and 1/2 cup reserved pasta water and stir until spinach wilts and cheeses melt.
• Return pasta to pot; cook 1 minute more, adding more pasta water as needed to create a silky sauce. Serve, sprinkled with scallion tops, more pecorino, and pepper.
