Ingredients
  

  • 4-6 ears of fresh sweet corn
  • 1 lb uncooked fettuccine noodles
  • 3 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup half and half
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup water (the stuff that you boiled the corn in is best)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt – I used Chobani plain low fat

Instructions
 

  • Cut the corn off the ears. Place the corn kernels in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat with no oil or butter. Let the corn sit for a few minutes without stirring until the outside gets roasty-looking.
  • Cook the pasta according to package directions. Reserve about 1 cup of the starchy pasta water before draining.
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium low heat.
  • Add the garlic and saute until soft and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Do not burn the garlic.
  • Add the flour and stir for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
  • Whisk in the milk, half and half, salt, and corn water until the sauce is smooth. Finally stir in the Greek yogurt and the chipotle pepper.
  • Combine the sauce, pasta, and corn in one large pot. Add extra Greek yogurt or reserved pasta water to get the desired consistency for your sauce.
  • Sprinkle with cilantro or basil for serving.
