Vegetarian Pasta SUBMITTED BY: Mary Feichtel "Mary Feichtel of Binghamton, New York adds a can of beans to noodles to create this fast, flavorful lunch fare. 'You can use any type of pasta you have on hand to make this filling dish,' she notes." INGREDIENTS 1 (15.5 ounce) can great northern beans, rinsed and drained 2 cups hot cooked angel hair pasta 3 tablespoons butter or margarine 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan or Romano cheese Minced fresh parsley DIRECTIONS Place beans in a microwave-safe dish; cover and microwave on high for 2 minutes or until heated through. Place pasta in a serving bowl. Add butter and garlic salt if desired; toss until butter is melted. Add beans and cheese; toss to coat. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately. Vegetarian Chili SUBMITTED BY: Karen Hunt "Hominy and garbanzo beans are interesting additions to the zippy chili that Karen Hunt stirs up using canned goods from her cupboard. 'I often serve it with corn bread or flour tortillas for a speedy meal,' says the Bellvue, Colorado cook. At 72 cents a serving, it's economical, too." INGREDIENTS 2 (15 ounce) cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes 1 (16 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained 1 (15 ounce) can yellow hominy, drained 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies 2 small zucchini, halved and thinly sliced 1 medium onion, chopped 1 1/2 cups water 1 tablespoon chili powder 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon sugar 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese DIRECTIONS In a large kettle or Dutch oven, combine the first 15 ingredients; mix well. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30-35 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese. Nutritional Analysis: One 1-cup serving (prepared with no-salt-added tomato paste and fat-free cheese and without salt) equals 217 calories, 507 mg sodium, trace cholesterol, 39 gm carbohydrate, 13 gm protein, 2 gm fat.
