Southwest Style Macaroni

There are many ways to keep warm, though none as essential as the warmth that radiates from your heart.

Ingredients:

6 oz. can of black olives - chopped

16 oz. jar of salsa

15 oz. can black beans - drained

29 oz. can of crushed tomatoes

1 jalapeño - chopped with seeds

1 large onion - sliced

4 cloves garlic - chopped

1 cup of frozen peas

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. black pepper

1½ tsp. ground cumin

1 tsp. curry

½ tsp. red pepper flakes

½ tsp. garlic powder

16 oz. of shredded cheese - your choice

2 tbs. olive oil

Grated Romano or Parmesan cheese

1 lb. of your favorite macaroni

Heat a large frying pan with the olive oil. Add the garlic, onion, jalapeño and sauté until the onion is soft and the garlic fragrant.

Add the salsa, olives, peas, beans, crushed tomatoes and seasonings; simmer on low.

Prepare the macaroni as directed.

Preheat the Oven 350 degrees:

Drizzle a little olive oil on the bottom of a baking pan.

Add the macaroni and toss in the sauce. Add the cheese and toss slightly to incorporate. Top with more shredded cheese and grating cheese.

Bake for 15 - 20 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Enjoy with Love,
