Method

1.Heat oil in a deep frying pan over moderately high heat. Add sausages; cook and turn for 10 minutes or until browned and cooked. Transfer to a heatproof board. Rest for 5 minutes. Thinly slice diagonally. Add mushroom and garlic to pan; cook and stir for 3 minutes or until soft. Return sausage to pan.

2.Meanwhile, cook pasta in a saucepan of boiling salted water for 10 minutes or until tender. Drain.

3.Add pasta, spinach, zest, juice and onion to sausage mixture in pan. Cook and toss over low heat until heated. Season. Serve with salad and parmesan.

Buy baby spinach leaves loose; they’re cheaper per kilo than prepacked. For a spicier dish, use chorizo sausages instead of pork. Price will vary.
