Preparation
  1. Fill a Multipurpose Pot three-quarters full of water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once water is boiling, add pasta and continue to boil until tender, about 9–11 min. Once cooked, drain noodles.  
  2. Meanwhile, in Sauté Pan, brown beef over medium-high heat. Use Ground Meat Separator to break up chunks. Stir in seasoning and water. Simmer until thickened, 4–5 min.
  3. Meanwhile, dice pepper and avocado. Remove stems from kale and roughly chop leaves. If tomatoes are large, slice in half.
  4. In a large bowl, add pasta, beef mixture, pepper, kale, and tomatoes. Stir until well combined. 
  5. Divide between four bowls; top with avocado and additional toppings, if desired.
