Chili-Sauce Pasta
You can use dried pasta instead of fresh in this 15 minute recipe,
but plan on adding a few more minutes to the cooking time.
6 ounces refrigerated linguine
1 14 1/2 ounce can reduced-sodium stewed tomatoes
1 medium green pepper, cut into thin strips, about 2 inches long
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium tomato paste
3 teaspoons chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 8-ounce can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup water
2 teaspoons cornstarch
Cook pasta according to package directions except omit salt; drain.
Set aside and keep warm. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan combine tomatoes,
green pepper strips, tomato paste, chili powder, salt, garlic powder, and cumin.
Bring to boiling. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 3 minutes. Stir in kidney beans.
Stir together water and cornstarch; add to tomato mixture. Cook and stir till
thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more.
Serve tomato mixture over hot pasta.
