Instructions
Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. Peel, then cut onion into 1/2-inch pieces.
Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 3-4 min. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer peppers to a plate. Set aside.
Reheat the same pot over medium-high. When hot, add sausage and onions to the dry pot. Cook, breaking up sausage into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.** Carefully drain and discard excess fat, if desired.
Add Tex-Mex paste, crushed tomatoes, broth concentrate, 2 cups water (3 1/2 cups) and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) salt to the pot with sausage and onions.Stir to combine, then bring to boil over high. Once boiling, stir in cavatappi and reduce heat to medium. Simmer uncovered, stirring often to prevent sticking to the pot, until cavatappi is tender, 14-16 min. (TIP: If pasta sticks too much, add more water, 1/4 cup at a time. Scrape up any pieces stuck to the bottom of the pot.)
Add peppers, spinach and half the cheese to the pot with cavatappi. Cook, stirring often, until spinach wilts, 1-2 min. Season with pepper, to taste.
Divide Southwest-style sausage and cavatappi between bowls.Sprinkle remaining cheese over top.
