Southwestern pasta makes a satisfying meal that will feed a crowd. In this recipe, rigatoni pasta is combined with ground beef seasoned with southwestern-inspired spice blend and simmered with tomatoes, black beans and corn. The pasta and sauce are combined, topped with cheese and baked until melted.

SOUTHWESTERN BEEF-AND-PASTA CASSEROLE

Southwestern Beef-And-Pasta Casserole image

This is a deliciously cheesy pasta casserole. If you can't find mini penne pasta in your grocery store, you can use small shell pasta or regular penne instead. I like to use "Recipe#111347" for the alfredo sauce.
