• Add half of corn to skillet and dry-roast over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until browned in spots, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to tomato mixture and cook remaining corn in same manner, adding it to tomato mixture.
• Add onion to skillet and dry-roast, turning frequently, until browned but still slightly crisp. Transfer to a cutting board and coarsely chop. Stir into corn mixture.
• Cook garlic and cumin in oil in skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir into corn mixture and season vegetables with salt and pepper.
• Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, then drain. Add pasta to corn mixture and toss. Season with salt and sprinkle with pumpkin seeds and cheese. Serve warm or at room temperature.

• Drizzle in the oil, then stir in the bell pepper, optional chile pepper, and pumpkin seeds. Turn the heat to medium high and cook, stirring frequently, until the corn kernels are touched here and there with browned spots.
• Season with cumin, salt, and pepper and serve.
• If you have more time, make this with fresh corn. Use 4 large ears of fresh sweet corn. Holding the ears of corn upright on their flat ends (one at a time, of course), remove the kernels with a sharp knife.
