I understand those hectic days and needing dinner in a hurry. This week has been ONE OF THOSE WEEKS to say the least and I was so excited to have an opportunity to come up with something easy, delicious and with little cleanup.
This quick, easy and satisfying meal is always so much appreciated!
The pasta cooks right in the pan in chicken broth, heavy cream (or milk) and the juices from the canned diced tomatoes and green chiles. You can use whatever pasta you like; I used rotini because I had it in my cabinet and it needed to be used.
This recipe is a little on the spicy side, but not overwhelming at all. You can reduce the heat by using canned diced tomatoes without chiles (but I loved the extra kick!).
Enjoy!

This was pretty good! Made some modifications. Browned the sausage first, then removed and added the holy trinity (onion, bell pepper, and celery). Deglazed with white wine. Added some Cajun seasoning, and went with diced onions without the chilies. Boiled the noodles with bay leaves. This would be good with shrimp added too.
Hi Tom, Your version sounds delicious – thank you for sharing! I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed it!

Delish! Whole family loved. Make with milk so not as heavy, still great! Thanks!
