Spaghetti Tacos

Okay so I watch some TV and I watch a lot of the same TV that Rae does.  This is an easy recipe that twists many great ideas into one.  It is customizable where people can make any way they want.  It can be as healthy or unhealthy as you want it and make sore great left overs.  Actually, it may be better made from left overs. 

Orgin:  I-Carly

Ingredients:
  • 1 lb spagettii
  • Garlic Salt
  • Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • Parmesan Cheese
  • Spaghetti Sauce
  • Flour Tortillas 
  • Taco Shells
  • Tostada Shell
  • Salad in a bag
  • Optional: Meatballs
Directions:
  1. Cook spaghetti for 8-10 minutes in boil water with garlic salt.
  2. Drain and heat up sauce in the same pot that the spaghetti was made in.
  3. Add cooked spaghetti and mix till there is a good coating on each little wiggler.
  4. Lay out the Tortillas, shells, cheese, etc. buffet style. 
  5. Call the clan over to make their own spaghetti tacos the way they want it.  
  6. Make them clean up the mess afterward.
Okay, so the last step usually doesn't happen but it is always worth the try.  The salad in a bag can be used as part of the taco or as a separate salad.  Without it there is no green.  Of course there are variations like if you want and alfredo or pesto sauce instead, go for it.  You can also not mix in the sauce till the point of making the taco.  That keeps the options open.  And if you want to totally mash up the foods convert it to Lo-Mein and then you have an Mexican-Chinese Fusion.
