Instructions

Step 1

Heat olive oil over medium heat in large skillet. Add onions and cook until translucent. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, around 1 minute.

Step 2

Add butter to the skillet followed by the flour. Cook for 1 minute. Add chili powder, cumin, italian seasoning, sugar, and red pepper flakes.

Step 3

Add broth, fire roasted diced tomatoes, frozen corn and tomato sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4

Bring to a boil then cover and reduce heat to simmer for 20 minutes.

Step 5

Add Banza Shells. If too much liquid has evaporated from simmering, add an additional 1/2-1 cup broth at this time. Cover again and cook for an additional 11 minutes or until the noodles are cooked through.

Step 6

Turn off heat and stir in shredded cheddar and heavy cream. Garnish with parsley and serve.
