Would not recommend. The pasta was mushy and the sauce was bland.

The pasta shells were a bit overcooked, but the overall flavor was good.

This recipe was a little too bland for my taste. I would add more taco seasoning next time.

I'm not a big fan of taco seasoning, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful without being too spicy.

This recipe was a hit with my family! The taco seasoning gave the pasta a delicious flavor, and the cheese and sour cream made it nice and creamy. I'll definitely be making this again.
