Step-by-Step Instructions for Fiesta Corn Pasta Salad
- Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the small shell pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, typically around 8-10 minutes. Once done, drain the pasta and rinse it under cold water to halt the cooking process. Allow it to cool completely.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 30 oz of well-drained whole kernel corn, a can of your choice of zesty Rotel, and chopped green onions. Mix them together until evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and sour cream until smooth and creamy. Blend them into a fluffy consistency.
- Gently fold the creamy dressing into the corn and vegetable mixture until everything is well combined.
- Sprinkle in the shredded cheddar cheese, folding it into the mixture so that it gets evenly distributed.
- Gently fold the cooled pasta into the corn mixture, until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator. Chill for at least 1-2 hours before serving.
