  • 2 cups uncooked rotini pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (15.25 ounces) sweet corn, drained
  • 1 can (10.75 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1⁄4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions
