Cooking Steps
Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, peel, then grate carrot. Roughly chop spinach.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then pork, carrots and onions. Cook, breaking up pork into smaller pieces, until no pink remains in pork, 4-5 min.** Add Italian Seasoning and garlic salt. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 min.
Meanwhile, add fusilli to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 9-11 min. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water (dbl for 4 ppl), then drain and return fusilli to the same pot, off heat.
Add broth concentrate, crushed tomatoes and 1/2 tsp sugar (dbl for 4 ppl) to the pan with pork and veggies. Bring to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly, 8-10 min.
Add sauce, spinach, reserved pasta water, half the Parmesan and 1 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl) to the pot with fusilli. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Toss to combine until spinach wilts, 1 min.
Divide pork ragu and fusilli between plates. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan over top.
