Recipes that reheat well?

I like to cook things that leave lots of leftovers that reheat nicely. I prefer spicy/flavorful foods with easy-to-find ingredients. Does anyone have any recipes that fit the bill? I am looking to expand my repertoire. The food does not necessarily have to be low-cal, as I'm entering maintenance soon.

Thanks!

    I just made some great spicy spaghetti for the week. Used whole wheat pasta, and classico spicy red pepper sauce. I like to add in my own fresh green peppers, extra red pepper flakes, and a little fresh garlic.

    When reheating, just make sure to re-mix well, and add a little water so it doesn't get dry.

    Creamy Zucchini and Spinach Rigatoni

    I just use generic brand cheeses, like I use Publix brand reduced fat cream cheese instead of Philadelphia Neufchatel. And I usually add a little white pepper - between that and the crushed red pepper, it has a little kick. It reheats really well, too. I also omit the mushrooms (no fungus for me, please).

    Navy bean and ground beef soup. With tomato sauce, onions, garlic, thyme, low sodium beef broth. Soak raw beans first, then simmer soup for about 3 hours. Add pinches of beef after 2 hours. Makes tons, and you only need eat small portions to fill you up. It's kinda like low fat, sodium mild chili.

    Buffalo Chicken Pasta

    I love this recipe because you can add/subtract spices to make it as spicy as you want. And the only ingredient that isn't a normal thing to have around the house (for me at least) are the shallots. So I usually either omit them or add finely chopped onions instead. If you like blue cheese/gorgonzola, I highly recommend topping the pasta with it.
