Cooking Steps
- Before starting, add 10 cups hot water and 2 tsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 servings). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Wash and dry all produce.
- Add penne to the boiling water. Cook uncovered for 10-12 min, stirring occasionally, until tender.
- Reserve 3/4 cup (1 1/2 cup) pasta water, then drain and return penne to the same pot, off heat.
- Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
- While the pan heats, drain and roughly chop olives.
- When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then sausage and mirepoix. Cook for 4-5 min, breaking up sausage into smaller pieces, until no pink remains.**
- Add Dill-Garlic Spice Blend. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec. Season with pepper.
- Reduce heat to medium.
- Add crushed tomatoes, stock powder, half the olives and 1/2 cup (1 cup) water. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly.
- Remove from heat.
- Add penne and spinach to the pan with sauce. (TIP: For a lighter sauce consistency, add reserved pasta water, 1-2 tbsp at a time, if desired.) Stir to combine, until spinach wilts. Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide penne between bowls. Top with sauce.
- Sprinkle feta and remaining olives over top.
If you've opted to get sausage, cook in the same way the recipe instructs you to cook the beef.** Disregard instructions to drain excess fat.
