Instructions: Use tomatoes held at room temperature until theyre bright red. With the tip of a knife, core tomatoes. Coarsely chop (makes about 2-1/2 cups); set aside. Fill a large saucepan 3/4 full with water; bring to a boil. Add pasta, boil until tender but firm, about 7 minutes. Drain in a colander or strainer; place in a large bowl. Cover to keep warm.

In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat oil until hot. Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, with a wooden spoon until onion is crisp-tender; about 4 to 5 minutes. Add franks, corn, chili powder and reserved tomatoes; cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened, about 6 to 7 minutes. Spoon tomato mixture over pasta; toss to coat. Serve hot.

Yield: 4 portions
