Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F. Wash and dry all produce.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high (use same for 4 servings).
- Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Thinly slice green onions, keeping white and green parts separate.
- Roughly chop spinach.
- To the boiling water, add penne. Cook for 12-14 min, until tender but still firm to the bite.
- Meanwhile, open one side of the tortilla chip package. Using your hands, crush tortilla chips in the package until broken into bite-sized pieces.
- Sprinkle half the Enchilada Spice Blend over chips, then gently shake the bag to coat.
- In a large non-stick pan, heat 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil over high.
- When the pan is hot, add beef, peppers, remaining Enchilada Spice Blend and green onion whites. Cook for 4-6 min, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains.**
- Carefully drain and discard excess fat.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle Cream Sauce Spice Blend over top of beef mixture. Stir to combine.
- To the pan, add tomato sauce base, broth concentrate, cream and 1 cup (2 cups) water. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly.
- When penne is done, drain, then return to the pot, off heat.
- To pot with penne, add sauce mixture and spinach. Stir to combine. Transfer pasta to an 8x8-inch (9x13-inch) baking dish.
- Top with crushed tortilla chips and cheese.
- Bake in the bottom of the oven for 5-8 min, until cheese is melted and tortilla chip crumble is golden.
- Divide pasta between bowls.
- Sprinkle remaining green onions over top.
