What You'll Need
- 1/2 pound (8 ounces) linguine or other long pasta shape
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 medium-sized onion, finely chopped (about 1-1/2 cups)
- 1/2 of a red bell pepper, cut into thin strips

What to Do
-
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta until tender; drain and set aside.
-
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil until hot; saute the onion and peppers over medium heat until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the beef and saute, stirring constantly, until brown. Remove from the heat and transfer to a 9" X 13" baking dish. Add the pasta and mix.
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
-
In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the spaghetti sauce, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Mix the sauce with the pasta, beef, and vegetables; top with the cheese and place in the oven for 1 to 2 minutes, or just until the cheese melts. Serve immediately.
