Butter-Poached Corn with Egg Noodles sounds a bit like something off the children’s menu, but I’m down for buttery carb-on-carb action and I like to try corn all the ways this time of year. This is actually a really tasty summer dinner, and it can be a really quick one, too, since fresh corn kernels and egg noodles take little time to cook. I did turn this into a bit of a project by making my own noodles, but store-bought fresh pasta would be great here. I broke out the “fancy” salted butter I usually save for toast to poach the corn and slick up this dish. I’m tempted to make this again and let a handful of cherry tomatoes burst in the butter bath along with the corn.

For the recipe, see Everyday Dorie by Dorie Greenspan, and head over to Cook the Book Fridays to see how the group liked this one.

Your dish looks so beautiful and restaurant worthy! Making your own noodles takes this up a notch for sure…and although this seemed like a weird combo to us, it was surprisingly tasty! I can also see how you can add things as you like…great summery dish.

Looks like your website has been updated a bit, slick. I like your idea of adding tomatoes, this dish needed something. I used salted butter also.
