Creamy Taco Mac

I am a lover of pasta. All types of pasta from ziti to spaghetti to lasagna to ravioli. I have been LOVING brown rice pasta lately. Try it out if you haven't before! You can use whole wheat pasta if you can't find brown rice.

Creamy Taco Mac
Serves: 6
1 pound lean ground turkey
8 oz. dry brown rice pasta shapes
1 cup diced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (14 oz.) can diced tomatoes, drained
4 tbsp. taco seasoning (recipe below)
7 oz. plain Greek yogurt
salt & pepper

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook pasta according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.

While pasta is boiling, in a large skillet cook the ground turkey over medium-high heat until no longer pink. A few minutes before the turkey is cooked through, add chopped onion to the skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes until onion is soft. Mix in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Mix in the diced tomatoes and taco seasoning. Let simmer over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Stir in the cooked pasta and yogurt. Continue stirring until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and serve!
