- Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Peel, then cut onion into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Heat a large pot over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then peppers.

- Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer peppers to a plate. Set aside.
- Reheat the same pot over medium-high.

- Cook, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.**
- Carefully drain and discard excess fat, if desired.
- Add Tex-Mex paste, crushed tomatoes, broth concentrate, 2 cups (3 1/2 cups) water and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) salt to the pot with beef and onions.
- Stir to combine, then bring to a boil over high.
- Once boiling, stir in cavatappi and reduce heat to medium.
- Simmer uncovered, stirring often to prevent sticking to the pot, until cavatappi is tender, 14-16 min. (TIP: If pasta sticks too much, add more water, 1/4 cup at a time. Scrape up any pieces stuck to the bottom of the pot.)

- Cook, stirring often, until spinach wilts, 1-2 min.
