  3. Add the onion, bell pepper and garlic. Cook for 4-5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the taco seasoning, salt, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, corn and black beans. Simmer, stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes.
  5. Add the cooked spaghetti and toss with the sauce until well dispersed.
  6. Stir in the cheese until melted. Remove from heat. Serve hot with toppings if desired and enjoy!
