This will be my new go to creamy pasta when I want something fast but still really flavorful! I used half a pound of rigatoni, browned up some chicken sausage, added in green onions for a little bite. The real shortcutis the sauce, I used 8 ounces of Trader Joe’s Everything But the Elote dip.

If you’ve never had elote, it’s basically Mexican street corn flavor. creamy, tangy, a little cheesy, a little chili lime situation, this dip captures all of that. Once it melts into the pasta with a splash of pasta water, it turns into the creamiest sauce without needing cream or cheese.
