Mexican Pasta

Creamy pasta with Mexican flavors - great side dish or main with grilled protein

Ingredients

Ingredients

• 1 lb pasta (cooked to package directions)
• 4 tbsp butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1.5 cups heavy cream
• 0.5 cup milk (almond, oat or whole)
• 3 tsp salt
• 2 tsp lime juice or more to taste
• 8 bay leaves
• 1/2 cup queso fresco (or mozzarella works too)

Instructions

1. In a sauce pan saute garlic in butter until fragrant
2. Add the rest of the ingredients to the bay leaves. Simmer for 5+ minutes. Stirring often. It should thicken a smidge. Remove bay leaves if you can
3. Add to the cooked pasta and stir well, add queso fresco too

Notes

1. Serve with grilled shrimp or something tasty
2. The heavy cream, salt and lime juice is a combo to simulate Mexican cream. You can just use that instead if you got it
