I do love a good taco. I do not like the crunchy shells that shatter on first bite though. I like the taste of them...it's the shattering part that gets me. And yes, I know I can eat tacos with soft tortillas, but recently it occurred to me that good old everyday pasta would make an excellent stand-in for the taco shell...AND I would be able to eat it with a spoon. Somehow, things taste just a little bit better when a spoon is involved. Which is the convoluted way that my recipe for taco pasta was born!
