Step 3

Add the peppers to the pot and cook another 3 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 4

Add cornstarch and spices and stir until the meat mixture is thoroughly coated.

Step 5

Add the milk, water and pasta, bring to a boil then reduce to a medium simmer, cover and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring a couple of times while cooking.

Step 6

Uncover the pot, turn off the heat, add the spinach and cheese and stir until spinach is wilted and cheese is melted. Adjust seasonings to taste and serve.
