Pork Taco Pasta
Ingredients
- 1 pounds Ground Pork
- 1/2 cups Finely Diced Onion
- 1/2 teaspoons Minced Garlic
- 1 packages Taco Seasoning
- 1 cups Water
- 1 cups Mild Salsa
- 1 cups Frozen Corn
- 2 cups Elbow Pasta
- 1 cups Mild Taco Sauce
- 1 1/2 cups Shredded 4-Cheese Mexican Blend
Instructions
1
Brown the ground pork in a large nonstick pan. Transfer the pork to a plate and drain the fat. Add onion and garlic to the pan. Stir until fragrant—about 30 seconds to a minute on medium-high heat. Add taco seasoning and stir for 30 more seconds.
2
Add in 1 cup water, salsa, and corn. Stir well and add uncooked pasta, taco sauce, and reserved cooked pork.
3
Bring mixture to a boil, then lower to medium-low heat and cover the pan with a lid. Let simmer about 5–7 minutes, then add the last cup of water and stir everything together again. Return lid and let simmer until pasta is tender, about another 5–7 minutes.

Remove from heat. Sprinkle with cheese and stir it into the pasta until melted. Top taco pasta with your toppings of choice. I love avocado, sour cream, cherry tomatoes, and fresh cilantro or green onions. Serve immediately.
