Creamy Smoked Salmon Pasta Recipe with Corn
This creamy fusilli pasta recipe combines the richness of Philadelphia cream cheese with the sweetness of fresh corn and the savory flavor of smoked salmon. The pasta is cooked to perfection, then stirred with softened cream cheese and reserved starchy water to create a smooth, luscious sauce.

A squeeze of lemon juice, a dash of salt and pepper, and a garnish of ikura or furikake complete this delightful dish.
