Taco beef pasta

Because you all loved my 6 ingredient fajita beef pasta recipe so much, I made a similar version using taco seasoning. It's ready in less than 15 mins and a simple lunch and dinner idea. It's also a great one to meal prep!

Add the beef mince then season with taco seasoning and brown for 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the chicken stock and reserved pasta water, then the single cream and cook on high until it starts to bubble, then mix in the grated cheddar.

Hey Sally so I made this twice recently. Once with onion and once without, both worked well but I prefer the onion for extra flavour. I've just updated the recipe to add the 60g onion x

My husband just made this and it was really nice. The only problem was, was there wasn't enough pasta so had to add more. Other than that it was a big hit.
