Cook the penne according to the package directions. Drain, rinse with cold water and set aside. In a non-stick pan over medium heat, add the corn kernels. Allow them to cook, undisturbed, for 4 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients; mix well, and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes. Add the cooked penne and mix well. Allow to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Serve immediately.
Note: You could vary this dish by sauteing garlic and onion in water for 5 minutes before adding the frozen corn kernels. Adding fresh cilantro before serving is a nice addition to this meal.
