I love tacos. I love pasta. I really really love Taco Pasta. It's got a rich taco flavor that combines beautifully with texture of the creamy sauce, diced tomatoes, and pasta shells. This is probably my favorite new dish. Yum!
Taco Pasta
Source: Adapted from The Girl Who Ate Everything
Ingredients:
1/2 pound ground beef (This is great to use that leftover hamburger.)
8-12 ounces medium pasta shells
1/4 small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (14 oz.) can diced tomatoes with mild green chilies (I don't drain this)
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
3 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
Salt and pepper
Directions:
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Cook pasta according to the package directions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water. Set aside.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet or sauté pan, cook the ground meat over medium-high heat until no longer pink. Add the chopped onion to the skillet. Once the onions are cooked through, mix in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add in the diced tomatoes and taco seasoning and let simmer over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes.
Stir in the cooked pasta, cream cheese, sour cream and reserved pasta water, and continue stirring until the cream cheese is melted and the sauce is well blended. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
