List of Ingredients




* 1 onion, chopped
* 1 bell pepper, cut in 1" wide strips
* 2 Tbsp. oil
* 2 C. chopped tomatoes, lightly drained (fresh, canned or mixed)
* 2 C. sliced okra (or green beans), cut in 1" pieces
* 4 sprigs parsley
* 2 tsp. minced fresh hot pepper (or .25 t hot pepper sauce)
* 1/2 tsp. dried basil or a few fresh leaves, chopped
* 1/2 tsp. salt (reduce if tomatoes are salted)
* 3 C. cooked noodles or whole wheat spirals or shells
* 2 C. cooked kidney or pinto beans, drained



Recipe



Sauté onion and bell pepper in oil in a 3-quart pot for 5 minutes to soften. Add tomatoes, okra or green beans, parsley, and seasonings. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes until vegetables are just tender. Add pasta and beans and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.

NOTE: For 3 cups noodles, cooks 2.5 c (5 oz) pasta in boiling salted water for 10 minutes or until barely tender. This can be done either in advance or while the sauce simmers.
