Southwest Pasta Skillet

During our use up what's in the fridge challenge last week I thought that I'd use the Philadelphia Santa Fe Blend Cooking Creme that I had.  We're not a big fan of using prepackaged foods, but sometimes on a busy night it's nice to have something to make a quick, tasty dinner.  I ended up adapting the original recipe a bit, using what we had on hand.  The Santa Fe Blend creme has a little kick to it, which my daughter thought was spicy (but she ate all of her dinner, so it wasn't too spicy). Overall, this made for a quick dinner, perfect for a reallyl busy worknight.
