Preparation
Cook the pork
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Halve, peel and mince the shallot. In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the shallot and garlic. Sauté, 1 to 2 min., until fragrant. Add the pork*; season with the spices and S&P. Cook, breaking up the meat, 4 to 6 min., until browned and cooked through.
Boil the pasta
Meanwhile, add the pasta to the pot of boiling water, separating the strands as you add them; stir gently. Boil, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 min., until al dente. Reserving ½ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Wilt the spinach
To the pan of pork, add the spinach and S&P. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until the spinach has wilted.
Combine the pasta
To the pan of pork and spinach, add the pasta, demi-glace and ½ the cheese. Gradually add the reserved cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until the pasta is heated through and combined. Add 3 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions); stir well.
Plate your dish
Divide the pasta between your bowls. Garnish with the remaining cheese. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground pork to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
