    This is my daughter Tonya's favorite meal. Sometimes we make it with rigatoni and call it "Riga-Tonya." It's a great dinner and a nice way to prepare yummy vegetables for the kids. —Sandra Eckert, Pottstown, Pennsylvania

    Ingredients:
    • 8 ounces uncooked whole wheat spiral pasta
    • 1 large onion, coarsely chopped

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
