Preparation
Mise en place
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Peel and thinly slice the shallot into rounds. Mince the garlic; combine with the shallots.
Cook the beef
In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the shallots and garlic to the pan. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, until fragrant. Add the ground beef*; season with the spice blend and S&P. Cook, breaking the meat apart with a spoon, 4 to 6 minutes, until browned and cooked through.
Cook the pasta
While the beef cooks, add the pasta to the pot of boiling water. Cook, 4 to 6 minutes or until al dente (still slightly firm to the bite). Reserving 1 cup of the cooking water, drain thoroughly.
Cook the spinach
To the pan of cooked beef, add the spinach; season with S&P. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, until wilted.
Finish & serve
To the pan of beef and spinach, add the cooked pasta, demi-glace, ½ the Grana Padano and 2 tbsp of butter. Gradually add the reserved pasta cooking water until your desired consistency is reached; mix thoroughly to combine. Let simmer, 1 to 2 minutes, until the pasta is heated through; season with S&P to taste. Divide the finished pasta between your plates and garnish with the remaining Grana Padano. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground beef to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
