Creamy Cheesy Tomato Pasta

Hello Friends,

Today I'm sharing with you what I grew up calling Mexican Mac-N-Cheese. My grandma and mother used to make this yummy dish for us when we were kids and now I make it for my daughter. Its an easy and fast dish to make that can feed a very small family for days or large family for one day. This recipe is enough for 4 servings.

Ingredients:
5 cups Egg Noodles (or pasta of your choice)
1/2 cups of butter
1/2 sliced onion
1 medium jalapeño sliced long ways and devanned (optional) (not in picture)
1 bay leaf (not in picture)
1 cup mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1 can tomato sauce

 Directions:
  1. Boil noodles in large pot, drain and set aside.
  2. In same pot, melt butter and saute onions and jalapeño over medium-low heat. Add tomato sauce and bay leaf and simmer for 2 minutes. Mix in sour cream and stir for 1 minute. Add noodles and stir until sauce has been evenly distributed over all noodles. Add cheese on top without stirring, cover and turn the stove off. 
  3. Serve once cheese has melted all the way through. Serve with your choice of meat and bread or just have a big bowl of it.
