- Add the onion, garlic, bell pepper, jalapeno, and zucchini. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the veggies are tender, 7-10 minutes.
- Add the paprika, chili powder, and oregano. Stir everything together. Cook 1-2 minutes. Add the tomato pasta and throughly combine with the veggies. Add the corn, black beans, and broth. Bring to a low boil and reduce heat. Cook for 10-15 minutes. In last few minutes of cooking time, stir in the agave nectar. Taste and adjust seasonings. Add salt and pepper as needed to taste.
- Scoop the cooked chili into the cooked butternut squash halves. Top the chili with vegan cheese. Place the squash back into the oven with the broiler set to low and cook 2-3 minutes, be careful not to burn the cheese.
- Serve!
