Breakup Pasta: Sammy's Version Part One

Good morning, afternoon, or evening to anyone reading my post! Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my blog.

This evening, I made dinner for my family, and tried a new recipe: Breakup Taco Pasta(TLC)!

First, what is Breakup Taco Pasta(TLC)? First and foremost, it is "a tasty meal" that had "the opposite effect of 'Marry Me Chicken'", according to TLC. It is not Big Ed's original creation, but it is a popular weeknight dinner, as it is easy to make, tasty, filling, and relatively inexpensive. Many chefs, food bloggers, and home cooks have created and written recipes for their versions of it, as has Big Ed.

Next, why did TLC call it "Breakup Taco Pasta"(TLC)? According to Food Network, "In episode six[of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?] (“The Itsy Bitsy Liar”), Ed reveals that at a dinner with his family, Liz and her daughter Ryleigh, Liz “blew up” because Ed had made Ryleigh’s taco pasta “too spicy.” Days after the fight, Ed tells his sister that he has decided to cancel the wedding, but has not yet told Liz, days before their would-be ceremony. Liz learns of this news from a text message from their officiant, saying “how sorry he was that the wedding was called off.”(Wong).

Third, why was it so spicy? To start off, the formula for Taco Pasta: Big Ed's Version is 1.5 pounds of ground beef, seasoned with taco seasoning, 1 onion, 1 bell pepper of any color, 3 Roma tomatoes, 1 clove of minced garlic, a pinch of salt, a dash of pepper, 1 packet of spicy ranch seasoning, 2 cartons of beef broth, an unspecified amount of cheese, and an unspecified amount of any pasta(though there are rumors that Big Ed used Top Ramen noodles). (TLC)

Lastly, how do you make it? According to TLC, you first heat up a large skillet, then add the beef, vegetables, and seasonings, and cook until browned. Once you have browned the beef and vegetables, add the beef broth, pasta, and cheese, and let everything simmer, stirring regularly, until the pasta is fully cooked. Once everything is fully cooked, serve.(TLC)

Thank you for taking the time out of your day or night to read my post, and have a good day or night.

Taco Pasta: Sammy's Version Part 2

Good morning, afternoon, or evening to anyone reading my post! Thank you for taking the time out of your day or night to ready my post.

A few days ago, I wrote a blog post about Big Ed's breakup taco pasta. In the post, I wrote the recipe for Big Ed's creation. However, my family disapproved of the recipe. As such, I created my own version.

Here is the recipie:

Formula:

1 carton of reduced sodium broth(I used bone broth)

1 box of pasta(I used Rotelli)

1 red onion

1 tablespoon of garlic powder

2 packets of taco seasoning

4-5 servings of a protein of your choice(I used seitan)

2 cups of whole milk or unsweetened almond or hemp milk(I used whole milk)

4 tablespoons of butter or margerine

2 cups of cheese or nutritional yeast(I used cheese)

Fresh cilantro for a garnish

Procedure:

Over medium heat, bring the broth to a boil, and add garlic to the broth

Add the pasta to the broth, and cook until al dente

Add leftover pasta broth to a separate bowl, and mix with one packet of taco seasoning, making a sauce

Coat the protein of your choice in the sauce, then bake it in an oven or toaster oven until slightly crispy.

Dice the red onion and any other vegetables(tomato, bell pepper, etc.)

In a separate pan, add oil or butter and fry the vegetables until the onions are slightly soft, but not caramelized

Add the butter, milk, and second packet of taco seasoning to the pasta, and stir until incorporated

Add the cheese and vegetables to the milky pasta mixture, stirring until incorporated

Assemble the bowls! First, add the pasta, then add the protein, and lastly, garnish with fresh cilantro

This recipe serves 3-5 people. Enjoy!

Thank you for taking the time out of your day or night to read my post. Have a god day or night!

Well she’s not a looker but it tastes great and was pretty easy to make. We will call the recipe a jumping off point, I made a lot of changes. I subbed in tomato sauce instead of ketchup because I’m not a fan of the latter. I also subbed in smoked paprika for the onion powder I didn’t have. I know it’s a weird sub my husband loves paprika in everything. Also used mozzarella instead of the cheddar. Will make again but I think it needs like half a cup more tomato sauce, the onion powder it called for, and some kind of veggie (carrots?)
