If you’re looking for a delicious, creamy summer dish, this cheesy corn summer orzo pasta is just what you need. It is so creamy, bright and everything that you are looking for in an easy, summer side dish that everyone will enjoy.

I originally saw this recipe on Zoe Barrie’s TikTok, so definitely go check out her profile for other great recipes! I thought this would be so delicious, so I thought that cooking it similar to the feta pasta trend would be a great spin on it!

Recipe Tips

I cooked this corn and cheese mixture in the oven for about 18 minutes which I thought was perfect, but if you want the cheese to be a little bit gooier, then I suggest letting it cook for a little bit longer. Or if you prefer a less gooey pasta, a little bit less.

I loved this pasta as is, but some additions that I think would be great would be the balsamic glaze drizzled on top. I think that would add a nice, sweet tang that would be perfect here. Also, if you were looking to add protein to this dish, I think either shrimp or chicken would be amazing! I was thinking about adding the Argentian red shrimp to this dish next time I make it.

Ingredient Tips

I used Boursin for the cheese (one of my absolute favorite cheeses) but I think this could work with a variety of cheeses depending on what you wanted that day!

Also, I used orzo for the pasta, but again, feel free to sub in any pasta that you have or want for this dish!

As always, if you give this one a try, let me know what you think!
