Preparation
Boil the pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta; stir gently to separate. Boil, 6 to 8 min., until al dente. Reserving 1 cup cooking water, drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Cook the sausage meat & tomatoes
Meanwhile, in a large, high-sided pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the sausage meat* and tomatoes. Cook, breaking up the meat, 6 to 8 min., until golden brown and cooked through and the tomatoes begin to burst; season with the spices and S&P.
Make the sauce & combine the pasta
To the pan of sausage meat and tomatoes, add the spinach, pasta, peas, ⅓ of the reserved cooking water and S&P; bring to a boil. Cook, scraping up any browned bits, 30 sec. to 1 min., until the spinach has wilted. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 min., until combined. If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
Plate your dish
Divide the pasta between your bowls. Garnish with the cheese. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground pork to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
