Time 55m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups uncooked multigrain or whole-grain rotini pasta (9 oz)
1 1/2 cups cubed (about 3/4 inch) peeled butternut squash
3/4 cup Progresso™ low sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup evaporated low-fat milk (from 12-oz can)
4 teaspoons taco seasoning mix (from 1-oz package)
1 1/4 cups shredded reduced-fat taco-flavored Mexican cheese blend (5 oz)
2 plum (Roma) tomatoes, sliced
1/4 cup low-sodium refrigerated salsa
1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
12 baked tortilla chips
Fresh cilantro sprigs, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 1 1/2-quart casserole with cooking spray. Cook pasta as directed on package, omitting salt and oil and using minimum cook time. Drain and return to saucepan.
  • Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, heat squash and broth to boiling over high heat; reduce heat. Cover; simmer 15 minutes or until squash is tender. Stir in milk and taco seasoning. Return to boiling; remove from heat. Place squash mixture in blender. Cover; blend on medium speed 20 seconds or until smooth. Return to saucepan. Stir in 1 cup of the cheese until melted. Pour over pasta; mix well. Pour mixture into casserole. Top with tomato slices.
  • Bake uncovered 15 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Bake 4 to 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
  • Divide pasta mixture among 4 plates. Top each serving with 1 tablespoon each salsa and sour cream. Crumble 3 tortilla chips over each. Garnish with cilantro. Serve immediately.

Provided by Iris Tian

Categories     Dinner

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

olive oil
1 lb ground beef
1 small white onion, diced
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
2 tablespoons taco seasoning, divided
½ lb small macaroni, dry
1 cup water
2 cups beef stock
2 cups shredded white cheddar, yellow cheddar works as well
1 cup tomato, diced
green onion, diced, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a 4-quart chicken fryer, heat approximately 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat and cook the onions until they begin to soften.
  • Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds.
  • Add the ground beef and 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning. Using your spatula, break up the ground beef and stir until cooked. Drain the excess liquid from the pan.
  • Add water, beef stock, pasta, tomatoes, and 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning back to the pan. Stir to combine.
  • Cook over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring twice to keep the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Increase heat to medium after 15 minutes, and stir pasta until most of the liquid is gone.
  • Turn off heat and add the shredded cheese. Stir until cheese is completely melted.
  • Top with green onions.
  • Enjoy!
