 Tired of dull flavorless weeknight meals? This one pan southwestern style pasta will have you fighting your family for the leftovers.One Pan Southwestern Style Pasta

I’m a huge fan using packaged sausages in weeknight meals. I use them at least once a week to pull together dinner really quickly. Most varieties are fully cooked, so you can even snack on pieces of it while you cook! Total bonus.

You can buy packaged sausages in a variety of flavors, I like a spicy jalapeno sausage for this recipe. Combined with complementary flavors from the southwest…it gives your taste buds the flavor they deserve…. this delicious weeknight winner.

Use pantry staples that you likely already have, and bring some bold flavor to the table.
