RIGATONI COMBINATION

1/3 lb. rigatoni or other pasta
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 t. olive or vegetable oil
1 small can tomato sauce
1 lb. can kidney beans, drained
1 t. soy sauce (optional)
1/4 t. salt (optional)
1/2 t. chili powder
Black pepper to taste

Cook pasta according to package instructions.  Saute onions and
garlic in oil for 4-5 minutes or until soft.  Stir in tomato
sauce, kidney beans, soy sauce, salt (optional), chili powder,
and black pepper.  Simmer several minutes.  Drain pasta when done
and stir into sauce.  Serve as is, or add 1/2 c. crumbled tofu to
each serving to make a lasagna-like dish.  Add hot sauce if
desired.  (Decrease fat content--saute in water instead of oil or
just brush the pan lightly with an oiled paper towel.)  Serves 4.
