Ingredients:

Serving

3 cups penne pasta, uncooked
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 lb extra lean ground beef
2 tsp garlic, minced
1 cup onion, chopped
1 cup green pepper, chopped
4 cups zucchini, sliced or cubed
2 cups tomatoes, peeled and cubed
2 cups corn
1 (15 oz) can black beans, washed and drained
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tsp chili powder
chili pepper flakes (optional, to taste)
1/2 cup cold water
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 cup cream cheese

Directions:

Cook penne (or your favorite pasta) according to package directions. Drain.
Heat olive oil in a large 14-inch skillet. Brown ground beef with garlic, onion, and pepper.
Add tomatoes and zucchini and simmer for 2-3 minutes until zucchini is almost tender.
Add corn, black beans, salt, pepper, and chili powder.
Dissolve cornstarch in cold water and then add to the skillet, stirring constantly until liquid returns to a simmer and thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium-low setting. Stir in cream cheese until melted.
Add cooked, drained penne and stir until heated through. Taste and add more seasonings, if desired.
