One-Pot Salsa Verde Pasta with Sausage and Black Beans

One-Pot Salsa Verde Penne Pasta with Sausage, Black Beans, Mozzarella and Cheddar cheese - delicious, easy, 6-ingredient, 30-minute recipe that you'll love! Super cheesy pasta with Southwestern flavors.

How to make salsa verde pasta

• The very first step is to cook penne pasta, until al dente. Use a deep large saucepan. Then, rinse and drain. Remove cooked pasta from the saucepan.
• In the same (now empty) saucepan, crumble the pork sausage and cook pork sausage until completely cooked. You don't need to use any oil - sausage has enough of its own oil too cook in.
• Next, add salsa verde and drained black beans (from the can) to the same saucepan. Bring to boil.
• Add cooked pasta, Cheddar and Mozzarella cheeses. Mix everything carefully (not to break pasta), reduce heat to medium and cook just until pasta heats through and the cheese melts.
