Ingredients

  • COOK:
  • 4 oz. each dry egg fettuccine and dry spinach fettuccine
  • 8 strips thick-sliced bacon, cut into 1-inch-wide pieces
  • SAUTÉ:
  • 3/4 cup thinly sliced scallions
  • 2 tsp. minced fresh garlic
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • STIR IN:
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh sweet corn kernels
  • (about 2 ears)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Grated Parmesan

Preparation

Step 1

Cook egg and spinach fettuccine in a large pot of boiling salted water according to package directions; reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.
Cook bacon in a sauté pan until crisp; transfer to a paper-towel lined
plate and discard all but 2 Tbsp. drippings.

Sauté scallions and garlic in drippings over medium-high heat until fragrant, 30 seconds. Deglaze pan with broth, scraping up any brown bits; cook until broth is reduced by half, about 3 minutes.

Stir in corn, cream, bacon, and fettuccine; cook until sauce slightly
thickens, 3–5 minutes. Season pasta with salt and pepper, adding reserved pasta water to reach desired sauce consistency.

Garnish each serving with Parmesan.
