Instructions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the dried pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente (usually 8-10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
Step 2
While pasta cooks, drain and rinse the canned kidney beans and corn in a colander.
Step 3
In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add dried onion flakes and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), drained kidney beans, drained corn, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper to the skillet.
Step 5
Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Step 6
Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to combine thoroughly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately while hot.
