Creamy Sweet Corn With Pancetta

Step 1

This recipe originated from Giada's Italy.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until the pancetta is crispy and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the shallot, fennel, and red pepper flakes, and cook an additional 3 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.

Step 3

Stir in the corn and salt, and mix well to combine and warm through. Add 3 tablespoons of water, then fold in the mascarpone and Parmigiano-Reggiano. Heat just to a simmer, then remove from the heat. Stir in the basil and black pepper, and serve.
