How to Make Southwestern Pasta
- Cook pasta according to package directions. Add frozen corn during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water before draining.
- While pasta cooks, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in heavy cream and cheddar cheese.
- Cook, stirring frequently, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Add the drained pasta, black beans, and canned corn to the cheese sauce.
- Stir well to combine. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick.
- Stir in hot sauce to your desired level of spiciness.
- Serve on a plate. Drizzle generously with BBQ sauce, creating a decorative pattern if desired. Enjoy!
