This Mexican pasta bake is a vibrant fusion dish that brings bold, zesty flavours to a comforting family favourite. As a hearty vegan main course, it combines farfalle pasta with protein-rich pinto beans and a smoky chipotle-infused sauce. The addition of jalapeños provides a gentle heat, while the shop-bought enchilada sauce ensures a deep, savoury base with minimal effort. It is a fantastic option for those seeking a plant-based meal that does not compromise on satisfaction or spice.
Perfect for busy weeknights, this one-dish wonder is easily adaptable for different spice tolerances by adjusting the chilli content. The contrast between the baked, saucy pasta and the cooling tofu soured cream makes for a balanced and nutritious dinner. Serve it with a fresh green salad or some extra lime wedges for a bright, seasonal finish that everyone at the table will enjoy.
