Taco Pasta Shells-Unstuffed

Recipe #295451 | 30 min | SERVES 6 -8 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: F-16 momma

No recipes really caught my eye when I was looking for a taco/pasta recipe, so I gave this a shot. Comes out to be like a creamy taco macaroni...like stuffed taco shells with less time/effort required, definately better than anything that comes out of a hamburger helper box. Pretty yummy! Would also be good with add ins: corn, peppers, onion, tomatoes, etc.
