Guest guest Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 I may have posted this before. It's one of my favorite cold weather dishes, because you can make it as spicy as you like. Serve it with a side salad for a complete meal. 1 can Fiesta Corn (corn kernels and peppers mixed together) 1 can petite diced tomatoes (I like diced w/ jalepenos, but almost any variety will work) 1 package TVP - I like the Lightlife brand of " taco meat " , but again, your preference 1/2 cup red onion, diced 1 tsp garlic, minced 1 box thick pasta - I like wagon wheel pasta Seasonings to taste: cumin pepper cayanne tabasco sauce EVOO ----------- Cook pasta according to directions. Drain. In a saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic and onion and saute until translucent. Add in the TVP, mixing well. Stir in diced tomatoes and corn mixture. Mix well and heat thoroughly. You do not need to " cook " the TVP, so don't overdo it! Just heat through! If desired, add in seasonings and tabasco sauce. Spoon over pasta and mix well. Garnish with cilantro. VARIATION - add sliced zucchini and summer squash to onions and garlic. This adds some nutrient value while keeping it " authentic.
