Corn Pasta
There's something magical about the combination of sweet corn and savory Italian sausage, especially when paired with pasta shells that catch all the goodness in every bite. This dish is a celebration of simple, seasonal ingredients that come together effortlessly. The corn adds a juicy pop of freshness, balancing the richness of the sausage and the cozy texture of the pasta. It’s quick enough for a weeknight, but special enough to savor slowly with a glass of wine. Visit groovyfoodiess.com for more of Sarah's recipes!

Preparation
- Add the sausage to an ungreased pan. Cook over medium heat, using a ladle to break it into small pieces, until sausage is browned all over and mostly cooked through, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic. Cook, stirring often, until the garlic is fragrant and slightly golden, about 1 minute.
- Stir in the corn. Cook, stirring often, until the corn softens, about 1 minute. Stir in the cream and Parmesan. Cook, stirring often, until the cream thickens, about 30 seconds. Stir in the pasta shells and lemon juice. Toss to combine, and top with red pepper flakes and more lemon juice.
