Zesty Mexican Pasta
Ingredients
  • 1/2 pound seashell pasta
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sweet corn kernels
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can peeled and diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup salsa
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Begin by filling a large vessel with salted water, then place it on the stovetop and bring to a rolling boil. Next, carefully add your chosen pasta shape and cook for 8-10 minutes or until it reaches the desired level of firmness. Remove from heat and drain excess water.
2
While your pasta is cooking, heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and bell peppers to the pan, allowing them to soften and turn a light brown color after about 10 minutes of cooking.
3
Add frozen corn kernels to the skillet and stir gently, allowing them to heat through. Then, add cooked black beans, diced tomatoes, a spoonful of salsa, pitted olives, and your preferred seasoning blend to the pan. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Finally, combine your prepared pasta sauce with the cooked pasta and serve immediately.
