taco-filled pasta shells

This was one of the many delicious meals that friends made for us when our daughter was born.

I had to have the recipe.

TACO-FILLED PASTA SHELLS

1 lb ground turkey breast
1 envelope taco seasoning
1/2 package (4 oz) cream cheese, cubed
12 uncooked jumbo pasta shells
1 tbsp butter, melted

Toppings:
1 cup hot salsa
1 cup hot taco sauce
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
1 cup sour cream
3 green onions, chopped

Cook turkey, drain. Add seasoning, prepare according to package directions. Add cream cheese, cover & simmer for 5-10 min or until melted. Transfer to a bowl, chill for 1 hour. Cook pasta according to directions, drain. Toss with butter. Fill each shell with about 3 tbsp meat mixture.

Place salsa into a greased 9 inch square baking dish. Top with stuffed shells and taco sauce. Cover and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with cheeses, bake an additional 13 minutes or until heated through. Serve with sour cream & onions. We also like to add Cholula sauce to the top.
