    Bowtie Pasta Recipe

    I'm loving my One Pot recipes and I hope you are too. Our pasta recipe is seasoned with salsa, chili powder and cumin, giving it an ever popular Mexican flair.

    Make your pasta dinner as spicy as you want just be adding more or less chili powder. Top it with melty cheese and fresh scallion and all you'll need is cornbread and a salad and you're all set!

    I'm sure you'll agree that it just doesn't get much easier to make a flavorful pasta with a light brothy sauce than to cook all the ingredients and seasonings in one pot and voila, it's done!

    Dinner is on the table in a flash and the cleanup is an easy one pot! And with the busy holiday season upon us, one pot recipes will be your best friend.

    Our one pot Mexican pasta recipe will certainly become a family favorite in no time at all!
