Servings: 4

8 oz rotini pasta
1 lb ground beef
1 cup roasted sweet corn (fresh or frozen)
1 packet ranch seasoning mix
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Cook the rotini pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.

Once the beef is cooked, drain any excess fat from the skillet.

Add the roasted sweet corn to the skillet and stir to combine with the beef.

Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix over the beef and corn, stirring well to coat.

Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing it to thicken slightly.

Add the cooked rotini pasta to the skillet and stir until everything is well combined.

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

For a lighter version, you can substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half or milk. If you have picky eaters, consider adding some diced bell peppers or peas for extra veggies. For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or some chopped jalapeños. You can also use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef for a different flavor profile.
