Servings: persons

1 1/2 teaspoons cumin seeds
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large onions, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 carrots, scraped and chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 (28 ounce) can tomatoes, undrained
1 1/2 cups frozen corn
3 medium zucchini, diced
8 ounces penne, cooked al dente
1 (16 ounce) can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1
In a large non-stick skillet heat cumin seeds over low heat until aromatic.
2
Add olive oil, onion, and garlic and saute until the onion is soft and translucent.
3
Add the carrots, jalapeno, and tomatoes with juice and heat to boiling.
4
Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.
5
Add the corn and zucchini and simmer 5 more minutes.
6
Add the cooked pasta and the beans and mix well.
7
At this point you can put the mixture into a 4 quart casserole, add cheese on top, and put in a 350 degree oven for about 5 minutes until the cheese melts. We usually just sprinkle cheese on top while it's still in the skillet. No sense in dirtying another dish :).
