Let’s get to the meat of the matter: our uncased pork sausage is conveniently pre-spiced so all you have to do is toss it in a pan. Our garlic is conveniently pre-roasted, so you can throw that straight in too, along with onions (yup, pre-sliced) and cherry tomatoes (just the right size). Boil gemelli pasta and leafy greens in the same pot, and drop them into the sauce with grated Grana Padano, saving some for garnish.

Preparation
Boil the pasta & wilt the spinach
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta; stir gently to separate. Boil, 10 to 12 min., until al dente. Place the spinach in a strainer. Reserving 1 cup cooking water, drain the pasta over the spinach and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Start the sausage meat
Meanwhile, in a large, high-sided pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the sausage meat, garlic and onions. Cook, breaking up the meat, 4 to 6 min., until golden brown and almost cooked through.
Make the sauce & finish the sausage meat
To the pan of sausage meat, add the tomatoes. Cook, stirring frequently, crushing the tomatoes, 3 to 4 min., until the tomatoes have softened and the sausage meat* is cooked through; season with the spices.
Combine the pasta
To the pan of sauce, add the pasta and spinach, ½ the cheese and ½ the reserved cooking water. Cook, stirring frequently 1 to 2 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 remaining cheese. Bon appétit!
