One-pot taco pasta

Instructions

1. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high. Cook the beef, onion, garlic, cumin, and salt, stirring frequently to crumble the meat, until the beef is browned, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the tomatoes and 2½ cups water and bring to a boil. Break the pasta in half and add to the pan. Stir gently to combine. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, 10 to 12 minutes.
3. Remove the pan from heat. Top the pasta with the cheese, pico de gallo, and jalapeños (if using).
4. Serving size: about 1⅓ cups
