How to Make Southwestern Style Pasta Skillet
- Cook 1 pound of macaroni according to package directions, omitting salt.
- Drain the macaroni and set aside, keeping it warm.
- While the pasta cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound Italian sausage (removed from casings), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), and 1/2 medium onion (chopped). Cook, stirring frequently, until the sausage is browned and the vegetables are tender-crisp (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove the sausage and vegetables from the skillet, leaving behind any excess grease.
- Add 2 medium zucchini (chopped), 1 (28-ounce) can of stewed tomatoes (undrained), 1 cup frozen corn, and 1 (4-ounce) can of diced green chilies (with their liquid) to the skillet. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Stir in the cooked macaroni and the cooked sausage and vegetable mixture.
- Sprinkle generously with 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese). Stir gently to combine and allow the cheese to melt slightly.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
