Preparation

Mise en place

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Small-dice the celery. Halve, peel and small-dice the onion. Mince the garlic.

Start the sauce

In a large, high-sided pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the onion, garlic and celery. Sauté, 3 to 4 min., until softened. Add the canned tomatoes, spices, ½ cup water and S&P; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer.

Cook the meatballs & finish the sauce

Using 2 spoons, form the sausage meat into 16 rough meatballs, dropping them into the pan of sauce as you go. Cook, partially covered, stirring occasionally, 10 to 12 min., until the meatballs* are cooked through and the sauce has reduced.

Boil the pasta

Meanwhile, add the pasta to the pot of boiling water; stir gently to separate. Boil, 6 to 8 min., until al dente. Reserving 1 cup cooking water, drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.

Combine the pasta

To the pan, add the spinach. Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until just wilted. Add the pasta and ½ the reserved cooking water. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 min., until the spinach has wilted and the pasta is combined. If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
