Taco Alfredo Pasta Delight
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, diced (optional)
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 pound rotini pasta
- 2 cups Alfredo sauce
- 1 cup Mexican shredded cheese
Instructions:
- Prepare the Pasta:
- Boil the rotini pasta according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
- Brown the Meat and Vegetables:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
- Add finely chopped onions and diced green bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and the meat is fully cooked.
- Season the Meat:
- Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the browned meat and vegetables. Add a dash of water to the skillet, stirring well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed and coats the meat.
- Combine Pasta and Meat Mixture:
- Add the boiled rotini pasta to the skillet with the seasoned meat and vegetables. Toss everything together until the pasta is well-coated with the taco-seasoned meat mixture.
- Introduce Alfredo Sauce:
- Pour the Alfredo sauce over the pasta and meat mixture. Gently stir to combine, ensuring that the creamy Alfredo goodness is evenly distributed throughout the dish.
- Cheesy Finish:
- Sprinkle Mexican shredded cheese generously over the top of the pasta. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it sit for a few minutes until the cheese melts and becomes gooey.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, it’s ready to be served. Scoop generous portions onto plates and revel in the delicious fusion of taco flavors and creamy Alfredo goodness.
- Garnish (Optional):
- Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, sliced jalapeños, or a dollop of sour cream for an extra burst of flavor.
