Easy to make and a ton of flavor. I think this is a keeper, I usually have everything on hand so it's always easy for me to toss together.

How To Make southwestern pasta

1
Peel sweet onions and cut into slices about 1/4-inch thick; separate slices into rings.

2
In a large deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium-low heat. Add onions, chicken, cumin, chili powder, salt and cayenne pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and golden, about 25 minutes.
3
Stir in the tomatoes, corn and chiles and cook 2 minutes longer.
4
Pour in the chicken stock and increase heat to high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, 5 to 10 minutes.
5
Combine the sauce, cooked pasta, cilantro and goat cheese, stirring and tossing to soften the cheese.
