Most people are familiar with tacos and spaghetti, but have
you ever tried to make Spaghetti Tacos from the television
show iCarly? This article explains is how to make these
delicious creations!
!! Ingredients !!
* Taco shells - the soft ones are easier but the hard ones also work
provided they're large enough
* Marinara sauce (basic tomato and herb pasta sauce) or bolognese
sauce with meatballs or sausages (if you'd like it to be fancier)
* Noodles or pasta
* Salt to taste
* Pepper to taste
* Green peppers, chopped; or fresh parsley pieces; or Parmesan
cheese (optional, as garnish)
!! Steps !!
Prepare the spaghetti in the usual way.
Strain the spaghetti and put to one side. Allowing it to cool just a
little is important to ensure that it isn't too moist or warm for
the taco.
Make the sauce. If you're not making it, use a purchased version and
heat it up. The sauce shown in the image is bolognese sauce.
* If making your own sauce, reduce the sauce as much as possible, in
order to prevent it from being too runny.
Mix the prepared sauce with the prepared pasta before adding to the
taco shell. This is important because you'll want the spaghetti to
soak up the flavor (and to ensure that there is no runny sauce
left). It's easiest if done in a small bowl for each serving, as you
can ensure a good consistency for each taco.
* If necessary, you might consider straining the meat sauce through
a strainer or cheesecloth before mixing with the spaghetti
noodles. This is useful for a runny sauce and will help to cut
down on the liquid that squirts from the taco shells with every
bite.
Spoon the spaghetti into the taco shells. Use a high-sided pan to
put them into and keep them upright as you work through all of the
tacos you're filling. Garnish with chopped green peppers or fresh
pieces of parsley if wished. Alternatively, sprinkle Parmesan
cheese over each taco. If you want to melt the cheese, place the
filled taco shells into the oven to crisp for 5 minutes, then
remove and allow to cool for 1 minute prior to eating. Your
spaghetti tacos are now ready to serve!

!! Tips !!
* Don't forget to clean your cooking area, and put away everything
you used.
* Experiment with different types of noodles and sauces; if you
don't have spaghetti noodles, angel hair pasta, or whatever you
usually use, try using farfelle or penne.
* Try fresh corn tortillas for your shells. The delicate corn flavor
of a homemade shell is a much better complement than store-bought
shells.
!! Warnings !!
* Use the usual precautions when handling hot food, the stove or
oven. Use oven mitts to remove the pan from the oven if heating
the tacos.
!! Things You'll Need !!
* Cooking pot for pasta
* Skillet or frying pan for pasta sauce
* Wooden ladle or other implement for stirring
* Pasta spoon for lifting out spaghetti
* Small bowl for mixing individual portions of spaghetti and sauce
prior to adding to taco shells
* Mixing spoon or fork
* High sided pan or similar container to hold taco shells as you're
filling them
* Serving plate
