I Made Spaghetti Tacos From iCarly and the Nostalgia Was Real
As a proper late '90s kid, I enjoyed watching iCarly growing up. To me, it was one of the funniest shows on television and one of my favorite characters was Carly's older brother, Spencer. He was always getting into antics and making weird remarks. In the end, he was a great caregiver for Carly and cooked interesting and delicious meals for her and her friends. The most famous? Spaghetti tacos.
My brother and I always wanted to try them growing up since they were such a staple on the show. I finally decided to make spaghetti tacos after all these years. The process was really simple and the results were better than expected. So, let's get into the recipe!

The verdict? Surprisingly delicious! I expected these tacos to be mostly fun and not a ton of substance. But, the crunchy, meaty goodness was yummy. It made me so happy to make something I've always wanted to try.
Overall, I probably wouldn't be able to eat this meal every day. However, it was definitely tasty, easy to make, and reminded me of my childhood. Spencer Shay knew what he was doing when he created spaghetti tacos. What a culinary marvel!
#SpoonTip: Spaghetti tacos are really messy! As you can imagine when you combine two messy foods, eating this results in a saucy face, taco shell pieces everywhere, and the need for lots of napkins.
