Pasta with sweetcorn and mayonnaise from pauline

This is an extremely simple dish that I started enjoying as a student. I tend to keep my sweetcorn stash stocked up so that at times when it's raining / too cold or I am too tired to leave my flat I have all the ingredients of this simple yet tasty meal.

You will need pasta (100-200g per person). Fresh tastes better if you have it. Any shape or form will do. Note that fresh and certain shapes of pasta are faster at cooking if you're in a rush. You will also need a tin of sweetcorn and some mayonnaise. Salt and pepper if it adds to your happiness.

Pasta with sweetcorn and mayonaise ingredients

- Boil some water in a pan (I tend to add salt) - Add pasta and cook for time specified on pack - Open sweetcorn can slightly, so that you can pour the juice out into the sink whilst no sweetcorn escapes - Open sweetcorn can more and pour sweetcorn into a bowl - Squeeze mayonnaise onto sweetcorn (If you don't have a squeezy bottle you can scoop it)

Pasta with sweetcorn and mayonnaise

What I like about this dish is its simplicity and tastiness. I absolutely love sweetcorn and the mayonnaise acts like a creamy sauce.
