Taco Pasta Recipe

Ingredients

Instructions

1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, 7-8 minutes, using a spatula to break up the meat as it cooks.
2. While the beef is cooking, cook the pasta according to the package directions.
3. Once the beef is cooked through, remove it to a paper towel lined plate to drain and wipe out the skillet.
4. To the same skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil, diced onion, and garlic. Cook until the onions are soft, 4-5 minutes.
5. Reduce the heat to medium and sprinkle the flour over the cooked onions; stir together. Add the broth, one cup at a time, whisking between to ensure all flour is stirred in. Let the mixture simmer over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes to thicken.
6. Reduce the heat to low then add the 1 cup shredded cheese, the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and taco seasoning. Stir well and let it cook until the cheese is fully melted, 2-3 minutes.
7. Add the cooked ground beef back to the skillet along with the cooked and drained pasta. Stir until all the ingredients are well combined and coated with the sauce.
8. Remove from heat and stir in the sour cream.
9. Serve topped with optional toppings, such as additional shredded cheese, jalapeno slices, and/or fresh cilantro.
