Creamy Cheesy Spicy Taco Pasta

I’ve been on a comfort food kick lately! This creamy cheesy spicy taco pasta is totally comfort food with a kick! Pasta anything is comfort food to me! This taco pasta is so full of flavor, and if you love spicy, you’re going to love this!

Creamy Cheesy Spicy Taco Pasta

This creamy cheesy spicy taco pasta has cream cheese, sour cream and some other delicious ingredients which gives this pasta dish such wonderful flavor. Even the diced jalapenos give it an extra kick! 

Creamy Cheesy Spicy Taco Pasta

I had pinned a recipe, over 3 years ago from Overworked Supermom, where this recipe has been adapted from. I made this delicious pasta dish multiple times over the past 3 years, with a few additional ingredients added. This creamy cheesy spicy taco pasta is a huge hit every time it’s served for dinner! Left overs don’t last long at our house either!

Even though there is sour cream in the taco pasta, we seem to always add a spoonful on top of our bowls, along with extra cheese and some green onions. You can never have too much sour cream!

This is a great dish to make when friends or family come over! Very satisfying and tasty! I can pretty much guarantee they will definitely ask you for the recipe, it’s that good!
