Sour Cream Pasta

Ajoke
Sour cream pasta! Tangy, rich, and delicious: in my daughter's words, 'This sour cream pasta is mildly tangy and delicious.' She is right, and I am sure you will agree with her when you take the first mouthful of this creamy pasta.

Notes

Variations
Add chicken or shrimp to this recipe if you want a protein-rich meal. Try my Mexican chicken cutlet, broiled chicken breast, or broiled salmon recipe. They are quick, easy and can be made alongside the pasta to save time.
Add your favorite vegetables such as mushrooms, bell peppers, or broccoli to make it vegetarian-friendly and a more balanced meatless meal.
