Easy Chili Cavatappi

Easy Chili Cavatappi
  • 2 quarts water
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cavatappi pasta
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 (15 ounce) can seasoned black beans, undrained
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


  1. Bring water to a boil in a large pot; add salt. Pour cavatappi into the boiling water and cook until tender but firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes; drain and rinse cavatappi.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic in the hot oil until onion is softened and transparent, 5 to 10 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and stir ground beef into onion mixture. Cook and stir until ground beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain excess grease and return skillet to heat.
  3. Mix tomato sauce, chili powder, and cumin into ground beef mixture; cook, stirring occasionally, until tomato sauce is heated through, about 3 minutes. Stir cavatappi into meat sauce until evenly coated; add black beans and pepper. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until flavors have blended, about 5 minutes.
