Easy Enchilada Pasta – All the flavors of beef enchiladas but in pasta form!  It’s a perfect 30 minute pasta recipe for busy week nights!

One of my favorite things to cook is a big pot of pasta and ground beef in some form or another.  It just screams kid-friendly too.  This Enchilada Pasta is no exception.  It is easy enough for a weeknight dinner and a nice change up to our usual spaghetti night.  

More reasons you should try this Enchilada Pasta:

• It’s great for using only 1 pound of ground beef.
• You can substitute ground turkey in the place of the beef.
• You can change up the cheese and use a spicy Pepper Jack.
• You can choose to use either mild or spicy red enchilada sauce.
• Don’t like penne pasta?  Pick whatever kind of pasta you have on hand!
