Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, for 4 minutes, until lightly browned.

Crumble the beef into the skillet. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring often until no longer pink.

Add the spaghetti sauce, tomatoes, cumin, and corn. Reduce the heat to medium. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring twice, until the onion is tender. Remove the skillet from the heat.

Stir the scallions into the sauce. Toss with the hot pasta and Parmesan cheese. Serve right away.
