Looking for an easy lunch or dinner that’s fun, fast, and family-friendly? Try this one-pot pasta that’s cooked mostly on the stovetop and then briefly broiled at the end. We use broken lasagna noodles to replicate the shape of chips, cook them in cumin-spiked tomato sauce, and top them with salsa-seasoned turkey, black beans, Colby Jack cheese, scallions, and tomatoes. The overall effect is Tex-Mex yumminess. Make sure to stir the noodles frequently as they cook to keep them from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
