PASTA, ONE POT: One Pot Wonder Southwest Pasta
thewholesomedish.com/one-pot-wonder-southwest-pasta/
Edited to fit:  One pot wonder southwest pasta is a vegetarian meal that only takes 25 minutes to prepare from start to finish.

If you are not familiar with the one pot wonder method, you simply put uncooked pasta, veggies, seasoning, and broth into a large pot, cover it, and let it cook for about 12-15 minutes.  That’s it!  The pasta absorbs the cooking liquid and creates an almost creamy sauce.

The main protein source in this pasta is canned black beans.  So, it’s perfect for vegetarians and those people that practice Meatless Mondays (going vegetarian one day a week).
Ingredients
  • 1 13.5 oz. box of whole wheat rotini (or any pasta you like)
  • 2 cups frozen corn kernels
  • 1 medium green bell pepper cut into thin strips
  • ½ medium red onion, sliced
  • 1 15 oz. can Rotel canned tomatoes and chilies (I used the Mexican blend with lime and cilantro)
  • ¼ cup taco seasoning (I used Old El Paso, medium)
  • 1 tsp. salt (if the taco seasoning you use contains a lot of salt, you may want to reduce this)
  • 2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cups fat-free chicken (or vegetable) broth
  • 1 15 oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • ¼ cup Mexican cheese blend, plus more for topping (Optional)
