Cooking Steps

Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
Peel, then cut onion into 1/2-inch pieces.
Peel, then mince or grate garlic.

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

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 for 4-5 min, stirring often, until no pink remains in beef.**
Carefully drain and discard excess fat, if you like.

To the pot, 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.
Stir to combine. Bring to a boil over high.
Once boiling, stir in cavatappi and reduce heat to medium.
Simmer uncovered for 14-16 min, stirring often to prevent sticking to the pot, until cavatappi is tender. (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.)

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