- black pepper to taste
- cilantro or parsley; optional; for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the Pasta: Boil the pasta in salted water according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Brown the Meat: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef or turkey over medium heat until fully browned. Drain any excess grease.

Notes
- Make Ahead: Cook the pasta and brown the meat in advance. Store them separately in the fridge for up to 2 days before combining.
- Customizing the Flavor: Add a kick of spice with jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper. Swap the ground meat for shredded chicken or make it vegetarian by adding black beans and corn.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve with a side of garlic bread or a crisp green salad for a complete meal.
- Storage Tips: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
