Sweet corn pasta , this is  a creamy tomato based pasta cooked with sweet corn and other veggies of your choice. I have recently tasted this pasta in my friends house. Few weeks back she invited us for dinner and the spread was amazing. She is a very good baker and the menu had a wonderful spread of varieties of recipes. She made delicious Pizza, Soup, noodles and this pasta too. Without fail i noted down the recipe of the sweet corn pasta from her. This recipe she adapted from Tarla Dalal cook book. It turned out very well and every one liked it very much. For sure, kids will love this spaghetti sweet corn pasta. Check out my mushroom pasta and pumpkin pasta too.

Notes:
  1. Instead of tomato ketchup and garlic sauce you can add 1/4 cup of pasta sauce too. 
  2. Fresh cream gives the taste to the pasta so do not skip that. 
  3. You can use any pasta of your choice. 
  4. You can garnish with grated cheese before serving. 
  5. You can replace pasta with noodles too.
