Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 Shallot, chopped; use 2 if smaller

- 1 cup Dry White Wine, dry

Instructions
- Cook pasta to al dente according to package instructions. Reserve a cup of pasta water.
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil over medium heat in a large high-rimmed sauté pan or Dutch Oven. Add shallot and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook another minute, stirring often.
- Pour in white wine, and cook for a few minutes so it reduces. Add corn and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add Boursin cheese and about 1/2 a cup of hot pasta water. Stir well until the Boursin is melted and well combined.
