Original Recipe Yield 5 cups

Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 (16 ounce) package star shaped pasta (located in the Hispanic food section)
1/2 onion, diced
3 cups hot water
3 teaspoons chicken bouillon
1 (14.5 ounce) can tomatoes with green chiles
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add pasta and onion; cook, stirring constantly, until pasta is lightly browned and onions are translucent.
Dissolve chicken bouillon into hot water. Pour into the pot with pasta. Stir in tomatoes, cilantro, cumin, garlic salt, and pepper. Cover and set heat to low. Simmer the pasta for 20 minutes until the water is almost gone. It will remain a little soupy.
