In a large saucepan you will place on stove and turn to medium heat. Add in the ground beef and taco seasoning.
Cook until all the ground beef is browned evenly and cooked through. Once done drain off excess grease.
Next add in the minced garlic and cook for a minute to allow the garlic to become fragrant.
Then you will add in the broth and salsa. Bring to a full boil.
Pour in the dry pasta and stir well. Turn the heat to a simmer.
Cover and allow the pasta to cook for 10-15 minutes or until the pasta is cooked. Stir often as it can burn the bottom of the pan.
Once the pasta is done cooking, turn the heat down and add in the shredded cheese.
