Ingredients

Servings
  • 8 oz. elbow pasta (gluten-free if desired)
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 15 oz. tomato sauce canned
  • 15 oz. Kidney Beans can
  • 1 1/2 cups corn I use frozen or canned, sweet, cooked
  • 1 Tbsp. chili powder (I use mild)
  • 1 tsp. cumin ground
  • 1 tsp. oregano dried
  • 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
  • baby spinach fresh, optional, to stir in at the end

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta, leaving al dente (firm not mushy). Drain when finished.
  2. Meanwhile, dice onion and mince garlic.
  3. 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.)
  4. When onion is soft, add garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and smoked paprika. Stir and cook 1 minute.
  5. Reduce heat to medium. Add tomato sauce, kidney beans (rinsed and drained), and corn. Stir. Lightly simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. 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.
