1. Set oven to 220ºC.
Bring a saucepan of water to the boil. Add pasta and cook according to packet instructions or until cooked al dente. Drain.
2. Dice cacciatore and slice leek. Cook in a heated large oven-proof frypan (see notes) with 1 tbsp oil over medium-high heat. Cook for 3-4 minutes.
3. Crush in garlic, dice capsicum, grate (or dice) zucchini, remove corn kernels from cob and add all to pan as you go. Season with 2 tsp smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Pour in sugo and simmer, covered, for 5 minutes.
4. Stir in cooked pasta and adjust seasoning if needed. Chop parsley and sprinkle over the top with parmesan. Finish in the oven for 5 minutes or until golden.
5. Serve pasta bake at the table, topped with alfalfa sprouts.
Notes:
If you don’t have an oven-proof pan, use a regular frypan and transfer mixture into a dish just prior to finishing in the oven. Alternatively, skip step 4.

You may need to alter the seasoning, adding more smoked paprika or add a stock cube.
