  • 4 cups (120g) fresh spinach leaves, roughly chopped
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup (50g) grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Pasta:

    • Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Cook the Sausage:
    • Add the sausage to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Combine Ingredients:
    • Stir in the crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, dried oregano, and dried basil. Simmer for 10 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
    • Add salt and pepper to taste.

Tips:

  • For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes when cooking the sausage.

Substitutes:
