Source- Lauren's Kitchen

 This recipe looked so awesome in my Google Reader and it certainly didn't disappoint.  It comes together really easy and the leftovers are outstanding!  I highly recommend this recipe!

Ingredients
  • 1.25 lbs ground turkey  (used ground beef)
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 8 oz dry pasta + 1 cup reserved pasta water
  • 1 16oz jar of salsa
  • 4 Tbsp mild taco seasoning  (1 packet is the equivalent)
  • 3 oz cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • salt & pepper
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese, plus more for garnish
Preparation
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil.
  • Cook pasta per directions. 
  • Reserve one cup of pasta water.
  • Over medium heat, brown ground turkey until no longer pink. 
  • Add onion and cook 5 minutes. 
  • Add taco seasoning and salsa. 
  • Allow to simmer over low heat for 5 minutes. 
  • Add cooked pasta, reserved water, cream cheese, sour cream, and shredded cheese. 
  • Give it a good stir until cheeses are melty and incorporated. 
  • Simmer over low heat for 2-3 minutes. 
  • Season with salt & pepper, as desired. 
  • Top off with cheddar cheese for extra cheesy goodness.

Next Time- This recipe is outstanding.  I'd like to try and make it with the ground turkey next time.
