Notes
- You can use fresh, frozen, canned, or pureed mango for this recipe; note that if you are using mango puree, you will only need ¾ cup.
- Pick a pasta shape with plenty of nooks and crannies; this way, the sauce coats it thoroughly, and each mouthful will be covered in the dressing. Farfalle (bowtie), Penne, Fusilli, Rotini, and macaroni work well.
