If you are not in the mood for a chicken themed pasta tonight, go ahead and try some other flavors like beef or shrimp. Both of those proteins go well with taco spices and pasta. You can’t go wrong with either of them, and it is a good way to bring variation to the same recipe.

Your picky eaters will also love this spectacular meal. It is in between a mac n’ cheese and pasta alfredo. It is not something that your mother would have made for you, but make it a new tradition for your family. They are sure to love it!

 

Ingredients:

8 oz angel hair pasta 1/2 box

2 cups chopped, cooked chicken

2 10 oz cans cream of chicken soup

1 cup salsa

1 cup sour cream

2 cups Mexican cheese blend divided use

1 tbsp taco seasoning

dried parsley for topping (optional)

 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350f degrees.

Spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Cook pasta according to package directions (remember, you are only using half a box of angel hair pasta here.)

Once pasta is cooked, drain well.

Place pasta back into the pot and add diced chicken, cream of chicken soups, salsa, sour cream, 1 cup of Mexican cheese blend and taco seasoning.

Stir well to combine (this will take a few minutes.)

Pour combined mixture into your prepared baking dish.

Top with remaining cheese and a sprinkling of dried parsley.

Cover with nonstick aluminum foil.

Cook in the oven for about 25 minutes (until hot and bubbly.)
