Method

Prepare the pasta according to the package directions and set aside.

To prepare the sauce, add the ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth, adding an additional tablespoon or two of water as needed to reach your desired consistency. Set aside. 

In a separate saucepan, sauté the onion, bell pepper, crushed red pepper, and garlic over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, adding a little water or veggie broth as needed to keep from sticking.

Add the beans, corn, cooked pasta, and sauce to the pan. Stir and continue to sauté for a couple minutes just to heat the sauce. If the sauce seems thick add a little veggie broth or water to the pan and stir.

Sprinkle on your favorite toppings and enjoy!
