Say hello to your new weeknight favorite for the whole family — One-Pot Taco Pasta!
Who doesn’t love a good one-pot pasta? I know you guys do because my one-pot hamburger helper is one of the most popular recipes on my blog. Some nights, you just gotta get food on the table for the entire family and this is One-Pot Taco Pasta does just that but it also will satisfy your tastes buds and it only uses cleaner ingredients.
And yes, even I eat this one because sometimes a little brown rice pasta is all I want after a long day. If you haven’t heard me say it before, Jovial Brown Rice Pasta is by far my favorite Gluten-Free Pasta. The texture is fantastic and it only has 2 ingredients: brown rice flour and water. That’s all. Can’t beat that, huh?
I encourage you to make this one-pot wonder for your family this week. I just know they will LOVE it. Enjoy!

Alex, if I use regular wheat pasta, would I still use 4 cups broth? I am loving your one pot meals these days!
