Taco Pasta

Hello Guys! So today on the blog I am going to share a recipe from a trip I took this summer in Carmel. My best friend Elizabeth and I got to go to Carmel this past summer to nanny for my cousins, who have the most adorable boys on the planet. We got to stay in this amazing house that had breath taking views and an amazing kitchen. Elizabeth and I wanted to make something really yummy for our night in the house. We did lots of research and with a little bit of trial and error over the past couple of times we have made it, we have finally come up with a super yummy recipe. This is a fun twist on your typical Taco Tuesday. Today I will be sharing the recipe for Taco Pasta with you.

Taco Pasta Ingredients:

• 1 lb. of Ground Beef
• 4 oz. of Cream Cheese
• 1 packet of Taco Seasoning
• Spiral Noodles
• 1 1/2 cups of Cheddar Cheese
• Fritos (Optional)

How to make Taco Pasta:

First we are going to begin with boiling a pot of water to cook our noodles. You’re going to want to cook to noodles according to the package on the box. While our noodles are cooking we are going to begin to brown our ground beef. Now that our beef is browning we are going to begin to grate our cheese, unless you bought it already grated then more power to you.

Once our meat is brown you’re going to want to drain the fat then add water to your meat and add the taco seasoning. Allow all of the water to evaporate. Then we are going to add in our cream cheese and melt it into the meat. This mixture will become very creamy. Then we will mix in our cheddar cheese until it is melted in. Finally add your noodles and mix until everything is combined. You can add some Fritos to your dish for a textural element to the dish. We found that it left a nice crunch and complimented the dish very well.

I hope you enjoy this and try this dish, it is truly a fun twist on taco night. Everyone loves pasta and loves tacos so this is the best of both worlds for a lot of people.
