5 Ingredient Taco Pasta

I forgot how easy and delicious a 5 ingredient meal can be! I am going to do much more of these soon. This one was DELISH! Now, lets clarify I did not count the seasoning or toppings in the ingredients but give me a break, its technically 5 ingredients!

Also, all done in one pot, still my favorite way to make a simple pasta dish! But gosh, this is creamy, cheesy, meaty and tastes just like a taco! Let me know what you think 🙂
