Spicy Jalapeño Pasta Bowl

1. Boil water in a pot. 
2. Add your preferred pasta (brown rice, chickpea, or lentil pasta) to the boiling water and cook it al dente. 
3. Just before straining, set aside 1/3 cup of the pasta boiling liquid. 
4. Strain the cooked noodles and return them to the pot. 
5. Add 1 cup of Rao's Homemade tomato sauce and fresh sliced jalapeño to the pot. 
6. Pour the reserved 1/3 cup pasta boiling liquid back into the pot. 
7. Mix everything together thoroughly. 
8. Place a lid on the pot, turn the heat down to minimum, and let the noodles and sauce 'marry' for a few minutes. 
9. Plate it all up, optionally serving with a side of meatless meatballs for extra protein.
