Ingredients

Method

In large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; fry onion, garlic, red pepper, squash, sage, salt and pepper until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Add stock and bring to boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer until squash is tender, about 12 minutes. Add black beans; heat through.

Meanwhile, in large pot of boiling salted water, cook penne until tender but firm, 8 minutes. Drain and return to pot, reserving 3/4 cup (175 mL) cooking liquid. Add squash mixture and half of the Parmesan cheese; toss to coat. Add enough of the cooking liquid to moisten, if necessary. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and parsley.
