Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Cook the Pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the Chili Sauce: Heat Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add Onion and Garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add Ground Beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
Stir in Diced Tomatoes, Kidney Beans, Chili Powder, Cumin, and Smoked Paprika. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
