Delicious Taco Pasta

Taco pasta sounds a little strange, doesn't it? I like both tacos and pasta separately, so I thought this dish would probably be good, and it was! I've made it twice so far and it is delicious.  It's very easy to make which is always a plus for our busy evenings. You can add lettuce, sour cream, tortilla chips or more salsa on top to make it even more yummy. Recipe was adapted from So, How's It Taste?
