Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 cobs Fresh Corn Use fresh corn for best flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
  • 4 cloves Garlic (minced) Don’t skip toasting the garlic for enhanced flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Adjust to taste.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper Adjust to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes Optional for extra heat.
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese (freshly grated) Freshly grated provides a creamier texture.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by shucking the corn and cutting it into halves or thirds—whichever you prefer.
  2. In a large pot, melt unsalted butter over medium heat. Add in the minced garlic, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Toss in the corn pieces and season with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  4. Cover the pot and let the corn cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Once the corn is tender and bright, stir in the Parmesan cheese until it’s all melty and coated.
  6. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley.
