Shells and Tomato Juice

Ingredients:
8 oz package gluten-free shell pasta
32 oz tomato juice
Pink Salt
Very Generous Peppering (fresh cracked is especially good)
1 to 2 tablespoons butter
A little non dairy milk (optional... I like mine to be a certain color, because my Mom used to put milk in this when I was growing up at home). **You could also use a couple tablespoons of heavy cream or half and half instead of the butter and milk. I have done that, too.

Directions:
Cook pasta in water, as directed on package.
Drain and put back in pot with all the tomato juice, seasoning, butter, and milk.

Warm the mixture and be sure the butter is melted. 

You can add a can, or two, of black-eyed peas, mostly drained, but not rinsed OR home cooked black-eyed peas (i make a big batch in the crockpot from dried). This is also super good with a side of green beans with butter. Tuna is also complimentary to any of those combinations.
