This is my daughter Tonya's favorite meal. Sometimes we make it with rigatoni and call it "Riga-Tonya." Either way, it's a great, quick way to prepare your kids some yummy vegetables. —Sandra Eckert, Pottstown, Pennsylvania
Ingredients:
• 8 ounces uncooked gluten-free spiral pasta
• 1 large onion, coarsely chopped

• 1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 package (16 ounces) firm tofu, drained and cut into 1/2-inch cubes

Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute the onion, pepper and zucchini in oil until crisp-tender.
