Preparation
Sauté the mushrooms
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. In a large pan, heat a generous drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the mushrooms, garlic and onions. Sauté, 4 to 6 min., until nicely browned; season with ⅔ of the spices and S&P.
Boil the pasta
Meanwhile, add the pasta to the pot of boiling water; stir gently to separate. Boil, 4 to 6 min., until al dente. Reserving ½ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Cook the sausage meat
In a second large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the sausage meat* and cook, breaking up the meat, 6 to 8 min., until golden brown and cooked through.
Make the sauce
Meanwhile, to the pan of mushrooms, add the spinach. Sauté, 2 to 3 min., until wilted. Add the cream, demi-glace, ½ the cheese and S&P. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until slightly reduced.
Combine the pasta
To the pan of sauce, add the pasta, sausage meat, ½ the reserved cooking water and the remaining spices; toss well. If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
Plate your dish
Divide the pasta between your plates. Garnish with the walnuts and remaining cheese. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground pork to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
