I’m 100% positive I had a variation of this in Italy. Adding red pepper flakes doesn’t make this Mexican.

You forgot to add a little sombrero for the Mexican twist because I don’t see it

One of my co-workers used to make this when I worked in the kitchen. It’s not amazing, also would not consider this Mexican at all.

I pray to the lord of chilies 🌶️ that the sky might be brought down upon you for this abomination is not what you have described to to be

No.

This isn’t *Mexican food* in and of itself, but it is definitely food Mexican people would eat. My Mexican mom has made a dish just like this a bunch of times, pretty good tbh.

We eat this all the time in Mazatlán, shrimp capital. It is a Mexican variation of an American variation of an Italian dish.

Throwing ten chili flakes on something isn’t how it works dumbo.

Yes, you can find that pasta on any italian restaurant in Mexico. It’s very popular here

Haters, we eat cream chipotle sauce ALL THE TIME, chicken, pasta, enchiladas, don’t be hypocrites. It also looks delicious, even though I hate seafood.

Glad to see culinary tolerance here. I was hammered in down votes seeking clarification about a type of chili.
Some of the most amazing things I have eaten were the collision of two cultures. I had never considered this possibility

Crushed pepper from Costco food court is Mexican twist? Que???
If it’s chipotle cream sauce then I’ll believe you.

Why does this sub like to gatekeep so much? OP said Mexican twist and aside from that no Mexican food is not just tacos, tortas, and tamales. We have tons of other dishes many of which are rooted in cuisines from other countries. I’m sure all the people criticizing OP have never had espagueti verde which is a similar concept but with poblano peppers instead of chipotle.

Perfect with some salsa macha.

I don’t think a lot of people know Mexicans make up a lot of cremas for pasta or what? They love making this crema chipotle pasta and also the buttery noodles with crema and Mexican cheese.

Most people that don’t live in Mexico doesn’t know the wide varieties of pastas dishes we have adapted into our cuisine.
Pastas are popular in Mexico, and there’s at least a dozen recipes I can think of right now. Just because you don’t see it, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
There’s also a few communities sprinkled throughout Mexico of Italian descent that have live in Mexico for generations and their gastronomy can find some flares with Mexican food.
Also, don’t google Mexican pizzas (and I don’t mean memaws taco pizza). I’m terrified of the moment Italians will find out what we have done to pizza. And when the Japanese find out about sushi…

That’s the best way to make Italian food palatable.

What’s the Mexican twist to it tho? Chile flakes?
This isn’t Mexican.
