This is a meatless pasta casserole that offers a change from Italian pasta casseroles since it has Mexican food flavors. If you want to reduce the consumption of meat in your diet, this dish is what you are looking for. For this recipe, I would use reduced sodium chicken broth. I would also use lite sour cream and reduced fat cheese because they impart more flavor to the casserole than the fat free versions.
