Quick Tomato Macaroni

Submitted by Diane Penwell

"I found this recipe in an old vegetarian cookbook called Vegetarian Cookery volume 3 main dishes. It has quickly become a favorite with my picky husband. To top it off it is a very inexpensive recipe. It calls for a very small amount of onions. If i am cooking a veggie dish I will save the enough chopped onions in anticipation of this dish to help save on prep time. This is a wonderful recipe, but I think the breadcrumbs in melted butter (I use margarine) really make this dish."
