This Mexican pasta bake is perfect for a weeknight or any night where you need dinner on the table in about 20 minutes! The best part is it’s made using ingredients you probably already have stocked. It’s a win, win!
This easy bake is one of my go-to meals. It is both husband and toddler approved, so I enjoy putting it on the table. I also keep these ingredients stocked most of the time, so I can throw it together and double the recipe if unexpected guests come over.
