I can go just so long without a great dish of pasta. After all, I ate it at least once a week when I was growing up, and I love it. This is Mexican, meets Italian, meets Greek pasta and it’s so good, my mouth is watering thinking about it!!
For this recipe, I used up a lot of things I had in the freezer. So, just keep in mind this is a really flexible recipe for me. I didn’t want to use cream, and used the green enchilada sauce in its place.
