You will need a large skillet, large stockpot or dutch oven that will hold at least 4 cups of liquid plus the meat and pasta.
There are so many pasta noodles that are similar to spaghetti, however you could try any kind of pasta such as rigatoni, farfalle, or penne.
This is a very versatile recipe as you can add or delete ingredients. Remove the meat to make it a vegetarian meal. Other tasty additions would be green onions, black beans, olives or fresh garlic.
Play with the spices: add some red pepper flakes, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder or chili powder. Perhaps adobe sauce instead of tomato sauce for some added spice.
Stirring in some Mexican Crema or topping with a dollop of sour cream would add some creaminess.
If you have leftovers you can keep it in an airtight container for up to 2 days in your fridge. Leftover pasta should be consumed within 48 hours.
