3 tbsp  (45 mL)  butter
1 onion, chopped
1 tsp  (5 mL)  curry powder
1/4 cup  (50 mL)  all-purpose flour
3 cups  (750 mL)  milk
1-1/2 cups  (375 mL)  corn kernels (canned) or frozen, thawed
2 tbsp  (30 mL)  chopped fresh jalapeño peppers
1 tsp  (5 mL)  salt
1/2 tsp  (2 mL)  pepper

Topping:
1 cup  (250 mL)  fresh bread crumbs
1/4 cup  (50 mL)  grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Cook penne in a large pan of boiling salted water until tender. Drain well.

Meanwhile, melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally for 3 minutes until softened. Add curry powder and cook 30 seconds. Add flour and cook, stirring for 3 minutes. Gradually whisk in milk. Bring sauce to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes (sauce will be thin). Remove from heat. Stir in corn, jalapeño peppers, salt, pepper, penne and cheese.

Spoon mixture into a lightly greased 8-cup (2 L) baking dish. In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs, Parmesan and butter. Sprinkle over penne. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until golden and bubbling.

Makes 8 servings.
