1 Tbsp. olive oil
2 cups frozen corn
1 small red bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 small yellow bell pepper, seeded and diced

PREPARATION

• Prepare the pasta according to package directions; drain.

• When the oil is hot but not smoking, add the corn, bell peppers and onion.
• Sauté the vegetables until the edges are just beginning to caramelize and the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add the cream and chili powder.
• Bring to a gentle boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce is slightly thickened.
• Stir in the ham, salt and pepper.
• Add the cooked pasta and toss until it’s evenly coated.
