Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams spaghetti
- 250 grams ground beef (or plant-based alternative)
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 8 pieces hard taco shells
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cups water
Instructions
Fill a medium-sized pot with 4 cups of water, add 1 teaspoon of salt, and bring to a boil.
Add the spaghetti to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions, usually 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef (or plant-based alternative) and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the taco seasoning and mix well to coat the meat evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the seasoning to infuse.
Add 2 cups of marinara sauce to the cooked meat and stir to combine. Let it simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce is heated through.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss gently until the noodles are fully coated in the sauce. Remove from heat.
Warm the hard taco shells in the oven according to the package instructions (typically 2-3 minutes at 350°F).
Carefully fill each taco shell with a portion of the spaghetti mixture, about 2-3 tablespoons per shell.
Top each taco with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese and fresh cilantro, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Spaghetti Tacos—crunchy, saucy, and delicious!
