One pot pasta Mexican style

Ever heard of "one-pot" recipes? The principle is very simple: you put all the ingredients in a large saucepan, let it cook and it's ready. It couldn't be simpler. Here's my favorite one-pot recipe: it's very comforting and I often make it when I don't have time to cook anything else. This is Mexican-style one-pot pasta.

I'm a big fan of pasta. I could eat it at almost every meal. But most often I turn to pasta recipes from Italy. Pasta recipes bologneseat pestoA pasta recipe with Mexican flavors may seem a little strange. When we think of Mexico, we tend to think of tacos, burritos and other Mexican delicacies. But this Mexican-style pasta works just as well.

It's mainly the little blend of spices that will take you on a trip to South America here. So I wouldn't recommend touching it too much. However, you can adapt the vegetables in the dish. I mainly use peppers and spinach. But I think zucchini or corn would also work, without straying too far from Mexico.

If you have a little more time, you can replace the canned diced tomatoes with real tomatoes. I sometimes have extra tomatoes to pass, in which case I add a few more to the mix with the rest of the ingredients.

We're also very close to a vegan recipe, with the only element to be replaced being the cheese. You can use vegetable cheese or soy cream to keep the dish a little creamy and not too dry.
