02of 11Elote-Inspired Pasta SaladView RecipePhotographer: Greg DuPree, Food Stylist: Anna Kelly, Prop Stylist: Christina BrockmanThis zesty pasta salad draws inspiration from the flavors of elote—Mexican grilled corn on the cob that’s smothered in a creamy mayo-based sauce and sprinkled with chili powder, cotija cheese and lime. Corn kernels blister in the hot pan and a sprinkle of smoked paprika brings out the flavor. If you can’t find cotija cheese, grated Parmesan is a good substitute. There are a few methods you can use to remove corn kernels, whether it’s a corn stripper tool or a knife and a dish towel. For more, learnhow to cut corn off the cob.
