Taco Pasta: Sammy's Version Part 2

Good morning, afternoon, or evening to anyone reading my post! Thank you for taking the time out of your day or night to ready my post.

A few days ago, I wrote a blog post about Big Ed's breakup taco pasta. In the post, I wrote the recipe for Big Ed's creation. However, my family disapproved of the recipe. As such, I created my own version.

Here is the recipie:

Formula:

1 carton of reduced sodium broth(I used bone broth)

1 box of pasta(I used Rotelli)

1 red onion

1 tablespoon of garlic powder

2 packets of taco seasoning

4-5 servings of a protein of your choice(I used seitan)

2 cups of whole milk or unsweetened almond or hemp milk(I used whole milk)

4 tablespoons of butter or margerine

2 cups of cheese or nutritional yeast(I used cheese)

Fresh cilantro for a garnish

Procedure:

Over medium heat, bring the broth to a boil, and add garlic to the broth

Add the pasta to the broth, and cook until al dente

Add leftover pasta broth to a separate bowl, and mix with one packet of taco seasoning, making a sauce

Coat the protein of your choice in the sauce, then bake it in an oven or toaster oven until slightly crispy.

Dice the red onion and any other vegetables(tomato, bell pepper, etc.)

In a separate pan, add oil or butter and fry the vegetables until the onions are slightly soft, but not caramelized

Add the butter, milk, and second packet of taco seasoning to the pasta, and stir until incorporated

Add the cheese and vegetables to the milky pasta mixture, stirring until incorporated

Assemble the bowls! First, add the pasta, then add the protein, and lastly, garnish with fresh cilantro

This recipe serves 3-5 people. Enjoy!
