  2. Add the diced bacon and cook until crispy, about 5 minutes.

  3. Remove the bacon from the pot and set aside.

  4. Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook until they release their liquid and start to brown, about 5 minutes.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The mushrooms release their liquid and begin to brown before the garlic goes in.

  5. Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

  6. Add the chicken to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

  7. Add the shrimp to the pot and cook until pink and fully cooked, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  8. Add the pasta, meatballs, taco seasoning, and diced tomatoes to the pot.

  9. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a boil.

  10. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, until the pasta is al dente and the flavors have melded together, about 15-20 minutes.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The pasta is tender and the pot has little loose liquid remaining.

  11. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The spinach wilts into the hot pasta mixture.

  12. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  13. Serve hot, topped with shredded cheese and crispy bacon.

Tips while you cook

Crisp the bacon first
Cook the bacon until crispy, then set it aside before adding other ingredients.
Layer flavors sequentially
Add mushrooms, then garlic, followed by chicken and shrimp, allowing each to brown before the next.
Cover while simmering
Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer 15‑20 minutes for pasta to become al dente.
Add spinach at the end
Stir in chopped spinach after simmering and cook only until wilted.
