Bring a large pot of water to boil. Cook pasta
according to the package directions. Drain,
reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water. Set aside.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the ground
meat and onion over medium-high heat until no
longer pink. Once the meat is cooked through,
drain off the excess fat and mix in the garlic.
Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Mix in the
salsa and taco seasoning and let simmer over
medium heat for about 5 minutes. Stir in the
cooked pasta, cream cheese, sour cream and
reserved pasta water, and continue stirring until
the cream cheese is melted and the sauce is well
blended. Top with shredded cheese and more sour
cream and salsa if desired.
