1 cup onion chopped
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

8-ounce can tomato sauce
4-ounce can green chilies chopped
1/4 teaspoon cumin ground
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 8-ounce can corn whole kernel corn, drained
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded (about 4 oz.)
2 1/4-ounce can olives sliced, drained (about 1/4 cup)

Cook pasta according to package directions; drain, return to pot,

Meanwhile, in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat, saute onion
in oil for 5 to 7 minutes or until beginning to soften. Stir in
