  • 3. Add corn, beans, rotel, tomato sauce, tomato paste. Heat through.
  • 4. At this point I transferred this to a good sized pot because I didn't have enough room left in my skillet. Then add pasta and 4 cups of the cooking liquid. Stir it all together and let simmer 15-20 minute This let's the flavors "marry" The longer you simmer the more the flavors incorporate into the pasta.
  • Serves 10 Serving is 2 cups.
