Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons canola oil or 2 tablespoons lard
-
1/2 large yellow onion, chopped
-
1 (7 ounce) bag star-shaped pasta (usually found in the Hispanic food section of the grocery store)
-
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
-
4 cups water
-
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
-
salt & pepper (though probably will not need it- bullion is salty enough!)
-
2 tomato-flavored bouillon cubes, with chicken flavor
-
1 garlic clove, pressed
Instructions
- Put oil or lard in pan and brown the pasta. Make sure to watch it carefully as it burns easily.
- Add the onion and garlic. Cook about 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add 8 oz. of tomato sauce and 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil.
- Add bullion cubes and ground cumin.
- Taste after bullion dissolves. Add salt and/or pepper, if desired.
- Cook until pasta is tender, about 10 minutes. Add remaining 1 cup water if needed.
- Consistency will be thickish, but still soupy.
