Taco Pasta

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Separately, tacos and pastas are definitely one of my favorite foods, so together they make a banging combination. If you haven’t tried this recipe, then you are definitely missing out! This taco pasta recipe is super easy, made in one pot, and makes great leftovers for the next day.

Taco Pasta

Key ingredients to Taco Pasta:

  • Ground beef
    • Ground beef is kind of a staple for my taco pasta recipes, but if you must, you can sub with ground turkey or chicken!
  • Tomatoes
    • For my recipes I used fresh roma tomatoes because I like the flavor of fresh tomatoes better than canned! However, if you have canned tomatoes handy, they will still work great!
  • Beef broth
    • I added a touch of beef broth to help make the sauce a bit thinner. It also adds a lot of savory flavor!
  • Corn strach slurry
    • To be honest this wasn’t an original ingredient in my recipe, but I decided to added it because I like my pasta sauce more creamy and thick!
  • Pasta
    • This is where the recipe can diverge a bit, and you choose your favorite pasta. I used whole wheat spaghetti but you can use gluten free pasta, shells, fusilli… whatever!
  • Cheese
    • I added cheddar cheese because I think that pairs well with the taco flavor! You can always add more than the recipe calls (there is no such thing as too much cheese).
