Instructions

In a large pan or skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; stir until translucent and soft, 2-3 minutes. Add diced jalapeños and cranberries to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper; cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Add uncooked pasta, chicken broth, and water. Stir then bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Uncover and cook until almost all the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat; stir in cream cheese, shredded cheese, and diced green onions. Stir until cheese is melted.
Garnish with additional sliced jalapeños and dried cranberries if desired. Enjoy!
