Found this recipe in a magazine years ago. It's a nice twist on fettuccine alfredo — using creamed corn as the base for the "alfredo sauce." RitaL suggested adding jalapeño peppers. I think this is a great idea. I'll be making this recipe next week (May, 06) and will try it with serrano or jalapeño chiles.

Very nice, different! I think I'd omit the cumin seed in future, pleasant, but I wasn't wild about it, personal taste. Loved the red pepper and coriander, though! I used ordinary cheddar, I think my husband would really enjoy it with the added jalapenos, but the children don't care for them. I loved the corn sauce, and fried bacon and added it everyone elses, very much enjoyed. Thank you Kathy, for a different pasta supper!

    What a great take off of fettuccine alfredo! I used 1 pound pasta,a 16 ounce can of creamed corn added 2 minced garlic cloves along with the onions and 1 large red pepper which is about 1/2 the amount called for. I loved the cumin seeds and the cilantro in this, it gave it a real southwestern feel. I`d kick it up more if you like heat with some minced jalapenos. I served it with salmon but it`s a meal all on it`s own! Thanks for a great dish!

    This was OK. You've got to really like creamed corn to like it! I used ordinary cheddar cheese and a tin of jalapenos because we don't get the kind of cheese the recipe called for in Australia. Otherwise I followed the recipe. It doesn't have much flavour, other than tasting like creamed corn, but it's not offensive by any means.

    Different and wonderful pasta! Corn-based sauce is creamy and mild with much less fat than traditional cream sauces. Quite attractive, too. Garlic would be a nice addition but we enjoyed it very much as is. Don't skip the tomato garnish. Thanks, Kathy, for a lovely dinner!
