Tuesday I read a story on the New York Time’s website about spaghetti tacos, a phenomenon believed to have been launched by a Nickelodeon television show called iCarly.
We’ve never watched the show, but whenever I see a recipe in the NYT that I might easily be able to emulate, I’m there. Plus, Sophie had been hankering for tacos and she’s always game for spaghetti. Charlotte is uninspired by interesting food.
Rather than go straight spaghetti in the taco shells, I browned ground turkey with taco seasonings and put that in the taco, too. I mean, after all, have you ever had a taco with just one ingredient? If so, my sympathies! I layered the taco with shredded cheese, some spaghetti tossed in sauce, the taco meat, and more spaghetti toss. It was oddly tasty.
The kids got a kick out of it. But after Sophie’s first two, she just had the meat on spaghetti; Charlotte had the one taco and then naked spaghetti.
It was fun, but I don’t think spaghetti tacos is going into the dinner rotation. They went over like a wet burrito.

I wanted more spaghetti in mine but there wasn’t any!
i want the wet burrito, hold the spaghetti.

Five years from now, it will be on the menu at high-end restaurants, garnished with truffle shavings or something.
Mmm, spaghetti tacos! I thought that recipe sounded familiar. My 5 yr old niece is an iCarly fan. 🙂 I have been craving spaghetti tacos since you posted that pic. Not such a strange pairing in my stomach’s opinion. I will try this recipe for sure, I think my niece will get a kick out of it! (Cross your fingers, I’m going to sneak some veggies in there!)
