Taco Pasta. Cheesy Taco Pasta is my nod to the hamburger helper I grew up eating as a kid. While this isn't exactly the "crunchy taco hamburger helper" because I skipped adding the tortilla chips on top, the ooey gooey meat and cheese sauce is still the same and with just a few ingredients! The other tip for success is to make sure your kids are starving.

But this time my husband had them outside in the hot tub for a pre-dinner swim. It's my favorite foodie day of the week! My family loves taco Tuesday too. You can cook Taco Pasta using 8 ingredients and 4 steps. Here is how you achieve it.

If it was up to them it would be taco Tuesday every night of the week. I used twirly pasta (rotini) for the recipe, but any "short" pasta will work well. Shells or rigatoni would work well too. To make the recipe more healthy, I recommend whole wheat pasta, as it is higher in protein and nutrients than regular white pasta.
