This is not the title of the recipe in Siri Daly’s cookbook, Siriously Delicious.

I substituted salsa for the taco sauce and I used spaghetti noodles instead of the ziti she used for her cookbook photo. And, I created my version of a one-pot Mexican spaghetti recipe.
As the name suggests, everything cooks in a large, shallow pot. It requires no heavy prep work other than cooking the ground turkey. It could easily
And, you know what? This One-Pot Mexican Spaghetti recipe tasted amazing! I make this recipe at least once a week and my son takes the leftovers to school the next day. Even my picky husband loved this south of the border take on spaghetti.
This Mexican spaghetti recipe was was fail-proof even with my ingredient edits! I cannot say enough about how much I love Siri Daly’s cookbook. You can order it here.
This is a new favorite appetizer or side dish from her cookbook.
