Instructions

Prep all ingredients: chop mushrooms, sweet corn, cauliflower and measure out the chili flakes.

Season the black beans with salt and pepper, then saute over medium-high heat until well browned, about 4 minutes.

Add mushrooms, sweet corn, cauliflower to the pan and cook until softened, 6 minutes.

Stir in chili flakes, parmesan and cook for another 3 minutes until fragrant.

Meanwhile, prepare the penne pasta according to package instructions and set aside.

Combine everything in the pan, reduce heat, and let simmer for 12 minutes so the flavors meld.

Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt, pepper, or a squeeze of citrus if needed.

Serve hot, over penne pasta, garnished with fresh herbs.
