Instructions

Cook pasta, leaving al dente (firm not mushy). Drain when finished.
Meanwhile, dice onion and mince garlic.
In a large pan over medium-high heat, sauté onion for 8 minutes. (I use 3 Tbsp. water/broth for an oil-free sauté method, adding more as needed.)
When onion is soft, add garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and smoked paprika. Stir and cook 1 minute.
Reduce heat to medium. Add tomato sauce, kidney beans (rinsed and drained), and corn. Stir. Lightly simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add cooked pasta and stir to combine. Heat for 2-3 minutes. Salt/pepper to taste if needed and add any desired toppings.

Notes

For serving: Top with fresh cilantro, vegan sour cream, nutritional yeast, vegan cheese shreds, or cheese sauce.
Spicy version: Add jalapeno, cayenne pepper, chipotle, or hot sauce.
