Amish Sweet Corn Cacio e Pepe


  • Author: michael
  • Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Bag Mrs. Miller’s Fine Noodles, cooked al dente
  • 1/4 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 Cup Amish Sweet Corn, shucked and blanched
  • 4 Cloves Fresh Garlic, minced
  • 1 TBS Fresh Cracked Black Pepper
  • 1 Cup Pecorino Romano Cheese, grated with 1/4 Cup reserved
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a large sauté pan. Add Garlic, Black Pepper, and Corn. Sauté just long enough that the Garlic is translucent being careful not to burn or brown it.
  2. Reserve Pasta water before draining Mrs. Miller’s Fine Noodles. Add the drained Egg Noodles to the pan and toss to coat. If it seems dry, add reserved pasta water a few tablespoons at a time until you reach desired consistency.
  3. Add 3/4 Cup of Pecorino Romano and toss to melt. Salt if desired but keep in mind Pecorino Romano is a very salty cheese.
  4. Serve hot with additional cheese and a twist of Cracked Pepper on top.

Notes

Pro Tip: Pick the right cheese. Parmesan Reggiano is also a nice salty cheese for Amish Sweet Corn Cacio e Pepe; however, it has a stronger flavor that could overpower the corn. Pecorino Romano made from Sheep’s milk is more delicate in flavor. We highly suggest Locatelli if you can find it in a market near you. Any cheese shop or delicatessen should carry it or know where to find it.
