1/3 cup grated tasty cheese
1/3 cup plain flour
1/4 cup finely chopped rindless shortcut bacon

Place pasta packet contents, water and milk in a saucepan. Bring to the boil, stirring. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring regularly or until pasta is cooked and sauce has thickened. Transfer to a large bowl. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes. Add corn, cheese, flour, bacon, spring onion and eggs to pasta. Mix until combined.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add three ⅓ cup portions of pasta mixture to pan. Flatten slightly. Cook for 2 minutes each side or until golden brown. Transfer to a plate, cover to keep warm.
Add a little more oil to the pan if needed. Repeat with remaining pasta mixture. Serve fritters warm with aioli, lemon wedges and salad.
