Ingredients

Units Scale

Zoodles:

  • 3 medium zucchini, spiralized

Creamy Corn Sauce:

  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped onion or 1 clove garlic, minced (or both)
  • 4 ears fresh sweet corn, kernels cut off
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth, vegetable broth, water, or milk
  • Pinch of salt, to taste

Optional Toppings:

  • Grated Parmesan
  • Toasted pepitas
  • Fresh basil

Instructions

  1. Sauté aromatics: Heat butter or olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and/or garlic and cook until fragrant and soft, about 2–3 minutes.
  2. Cook the corn: Add corn kernels to the skillet and sauté for 5–10 minutes until very soft and lightly browned.
  3. Blend the sauce: Transfer the corn mixture to a blender. Add broth, milk, or water and blend until smooth and creamy. Add salt to taste.
  4. Sauté the zoodles: In the same skillet, add a bit more oil and cook the spiralized zucchini for 2–3 minutes until just tender. Avoid overcooking to prevent sogginess.
  5. Combine and serve: Pour the creamy corn sauce over the zoodles and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately with desired toppings like Parmesan, pepitas, or basil.

Notes

  • You can use canned corn (two 15 oz cans, drained) as a substitute for fresh corn.
  • To make it vegan, use olive oil and a plant-based milk or broth.
  • The corn sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated for 2–3 days—great for quick meals or as a dip.
