One-pot cheesy green chile pasta: easy weeknight dinner perfection.
Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
  • 3 1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup medium green salsa verde (from 16-oz jar)
  • 1 can (4 oz) Old El Paso™ Chopped Green Chiles
  • 8 oz uncooked penne pasta (about 2 1/2 cups)
  • 1 packet (1 oz) Old El Paso™ Original Taco Seasoning Mix
  • 4 oz cream cheese, cubed (from 8-oz package)
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend (4 oz)
  • 2 cups chopped cooked chicken
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • Diced tomatoes, sliced green onion, if desired
Instructions:
  • Heat oil in a 5-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until tender and starting to brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Combine water, zesty salsa verde, green chiles, uncooked pasta, and taco seasoning in a pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Lower the heat to medium-low and cook for 13 to 18 minutes, stirring occasionally until the liquid is mostly absorbed.
  • Blend the cream cheese and 3/4 cup of shredded cheese until smooth. Add the chicken and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly until warmed. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup shredded cheese, cilantro, tomatoes, and green onion before serving.
