Ingredients

6 servings

•

2 quarts water
•

¼ teaspoon sea salt
•

1 (8 ounce) package cavatappi pasta
•

1 teaspoon olive oil
•

¼ cup finely chopped onion
•

1 clove garlic, minced

•

1 pound ground beef
•

1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
•

1 tablespoon chili powder
•

½ teaspoon ground cumin
•

1 (15 ounce) can seasoned black beans, undrained
•

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Bring water to a boil in a large pot; add salt. Pour cavatappi into the boiling water and cook until tender but firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes; drain and rinse cavatappi.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic in the hot oil until onion is softened and transparent, 5 to 10 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and stir ground beef into onion mixture. Cook and stir until ground beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain excess grease and return skillet to heat.
Mix tomato sauce, chili powder, and cumin into ground beef mixture; cook, stirring occasionally, until tomato sauce is heated through, about 3 minutes. Stir cavatappi into meat sauce until evenly coated; add black beans and pepper. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until flavors have blended, about 5 minutes.
