Needed something quick/easy tonight that could be used for leftovers for lunch this week - and this was it!! This was so easy - and it tasted amazing! It's going to be great for lunch - can't wait!! I ate dinner over at my parents house tonight, but made this up for Ross's dinner, so now my mouth is watering to try it :)
Ingredients:
1¼ lbs. ground turkey (I used ground beef)
8 oz dry pasta shapes
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes, drained
4 tablespoon taco seasoning
3 oz cream cheese
½ cup sour cream
Salt and pepper
Shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Cook pasta according to the package directions. Drain, reserving ½ cup of pasta water. Set aside.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet or sauté pan, cook the ground turkey over medium-high heat until no longer pink. A few minutes before the turkey is cooked through, add the chopped onion to the skillet.
Once the turkey is cooked through, mix in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Mix in the diced tomatoes and taco seasoning and let simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Stir in the cooked pasta, cream cheese, sour cream and reserved pasta water, and continue stirring until the cream cheese is melted and the sauce is well blended.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer over medium-low heat 3-5 minutes to reduce the sauce a bit. Remove from the heat and top with shredded cheddar cheese, if desired.
