EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Cater to kids! Use the fun shaped pastas they like, such as wagon wheel, bow tie, corkscrew or the novelty shapes found at specialty food shops.

Like it spicy? Use a medium or hot variety of salsa to wake up those taste buds.

Serve in shallow bowls, and arrange tortilla chips around the rim of each bowl. Top with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro for extra Southwest flair.

This was good and hearty, but not anything extraordinary. I added frozen corn and cumin. I will make again in a pinch!

I made this last night...or I should say, it basically made itself!! This is the absolute easiest meal I've ever made in my life. Not a single knife was used! I'm a vegetarian and my husband is not and we both loved it. I added extra chili powder and cayenne pepper. I have no idea how this would serve 4 people. We split this in two instead of four servings and it was the perfect serving size, and we're definitely not gluttonous! We served with a side of cucumber tomato salad with rice wine vinegar to cool down the heat. I'll make this any night of the week. Delish!
