We went to Disney World a few weeks ago.  Before we left, Marcus made this delicious Healthy Kidney Bean Pasta to help use up some of the stuff in the pantry.  I am not really a pasta person myself, but I thought this was awesome!  We used gluten free brown rice pasta, but I am sure any pasta will work.
