A delicious, time-saving meal: Mojo de Ajo Spaghetti with Green Beans
If you’ve never made mojo de ajo, I highly recommend it as a quick way to elevate the flavors of your favorite dishes. It is a toasted garlic and buttery combination with a hint of citrus. Sounds heavenly, doesn’t it?
This quick sauce can be cooked with seafood, chicken, vegetables and in this case, pasta. My ingredient of choice is Land O Lakes® Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt. It’s perfectly seasoned with salt for this dish. I only add black pepper, dried chili flakes for spice and a touch of fresh parsley for color and freshness.
To make this delicious dish a bit more complete, I added cooked green beans. If you are not a fan of green beans, you can use mushrooms, broccoli or cauliflower. Shrimp works great too.
With all the hustle and bustle of the uncertain times we are living in right now, having meals planned is a great way to get through the week and one more thing to cross off your to-do list. Simple meals like your favorite pasta with an amazing flavor will keep your family happy and asking for more.
