Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Combine broth, pasta, corn, chilies and tomatoes in a 2-quart saucepan. Heat to boiling, then reduce heat.
  2. Cover and simmer for approximately 10 minutes, or until pasta is al dente.
  3. Remove from heat and let stand until nearly all the liquid is absorbed.
  4. While pasta is cooking, spray a 10-inch skillet with cooking spray. Add oil and heat over medium high heat. Saute sliced beef and bell pepper (if using) in oil for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is browned to your liking.
  5. Stir beef and peppers into pasta mixture, then mix in cilantro and black olives (if using).
  6. Serve.
