Directions

  1. In large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta shells for 8 to 10 minutes or until tender but still firm; drain.
  2. Meanwhile, heat oil in large skillet set over medium-high heat; cook beef, onion, garlic and jalapeño, breaking up beef with a wooden spoon, for 5 to 7 minutes or until onions are softened and beef is no longer pink. Remove from heat and stir in salsa.
