The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

under 30 minutes
ingredients
2 cups pasta (shells or elbows)
1 pound ground beef
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt, oregano and basil (each)
1 can (15.5 ounce size) butter beans (may use black or pinto beans also), drained
1 can (28 ounce size) crushed tomatoes
1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
directions
Bring 4 cups water to a boil and add pasta; cook for about 10 minutes or according to package directions.
Meanwhile, prepare the sauce: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef. Sprinkle with the garlic salt, oregano and basil as it's browning.
When beef is done, add drained beans and tomatoes. Simmer for 5-10 minutes until heated through.
By this time the pasta should be tender; drain and add the pasta to the tomato/beef mixture. Stir gently, top with cheese and cover with a lid. When cheese is melted and bubbly, turn off heat and serve.
