TACO PASTA - (ONE POT!)

Steps:

• Shred the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese from a block and set aside. It should be near room temperature when added to the pasta sauce.
• Cook and crumble the ground beef over medium-high heat in a high-walled pot or dutch oven. Drain grease.
• Melt the butter in the same pot and add and garlic. Cook for 1 minute.
• Add all remaining ingredients except the cheese and pasta. Stir to combine.
• Bring to a gentle boil. Add the pasta and submerge it in the liquid. Cover and cook according to package instructions. Slide a silicone spatula along the bottom of the pot halfway through to lift any ingredients that may be settling to the bottom.
• Remove cover and ensure the pasta is sufficiently cooked. Taste-test a noodle for doneness before proceeding If needed, cover and cook longer, until your desired doneness is obtained.
• Turn heat to low. Gradually stir in cheese until melted.
• There will be plenty of sauce but it will thicken upon standing and the pasta will continue to absorb it.
• Serve once desired consistency is obtained.
