Instructions
Wash and dry all produce. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Halve, peel and dice onion. Peel and finely dice carrot. Mince or grate 1 clove garlic (we sent more). Trim, then roughly chop half the mushrooms (use the rest as you like). Roughly chop parsley.
Heat a large drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, and garlic to pan and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Toss in mushrooms and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Once water is boiling, add spaghetti to pot. Cook until al dente, 9-11 minutes. Carefully scoop out and reserve ½ cup pasta cooking water, then drain. Once mushrooms are tender, add sausage to pan, breaking up meat into pieces. Cook until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
Stir crushed tomatoes, pasta cooking water, and half the stock concentrate into pan. Simmer until slightly thickened, 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. TIP: Add the leftover stock concentrate to grains like rice or couscous to give them a flavor boost.
Stir spinach into pan with Bolognese and let wilt. (TIP: If Bolognese is not saucy or seems stiff, add an extra splash of water.) Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Divide spaghetti between plates and top with Bolognese. Sprinkle with Parmesan and parsley.
