Preparation
1
Prep

  • Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Peel, then cut onion into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic. 

2
Cook peppers

  • Heat a large pot over medium-high heat.
  • When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then peppers.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 3-4 min.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer peppers to a plate. Set aside.

3
Cook beef and onions

  • Reheat the same pot over medium-high.
  • When hot, add beef to the dry pot. Break up beef into smaller pieces, then add onions.
  • Cook, stirring often, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.** 
  • Carefully drain and discard excess fat, if desired.

4
Cook cavatappi

  • Add Tex-Mex paste, garlic, marinara, broth concentrates, 2 1/2 cups (4 1/2 cups) water and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt to the pot.
  • Stir to combine. 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.)

5
Finish cavatappi

  • Meanwhile, roughly chop spinach, if you like.
  • Remove from heat, then add peppers, spinach and half the cheese to the pot with cavatappi. 
  • Season with pepper. Stir for 1 min until spinach wilts. 

6
Finish and serve

  • Divide Southwest beef and cavatappi between bowls.
  • Sprinkle remaining cheese over top.
