Ingredients

  • 1 splash extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 heads garlic, peeled
  • 1 28 oz can of whole tomatoes
  • 1 5 ½ oz can of tomato paste

  • 1 16 oz box of baby spinach

Instructions

  1. Add a splash of olive oil to a large saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Toss in the onion and garlic and sauté just to heat through, a minute or two. Pile in the tomatoes, paste, wine, oregano, bay leaves and salt. Bring to a simmer and slowly cook until all the flavors blend and deepen (this usually takes about 20 minute.
  3. In the meanwhile cook the pasta in plenty of salted boiling water while the sauce is bubbling away and after that, drain.

Finally, fold the sauce and the spinach into the cooked pasta, stirring and allowing the heat to wilt the spinach. Serve and enjoy!
