Notes

Can I use a different pasta?
Elbow macaroni is a great pasta as it holds the sauce in the center. You can use any pasta you like such as shell pasta, rigatoni or even penne.
Do I have to add the corn?
You do not need to add the corn, however, it does give it a small bit of sweetness. The sweetness is not overpowering.
