Jammed with tastiness, sun-dried tomatoes exist to make it easy for you. So does spiced ground beef, which comes ready to put the protein in a traditional primavera. Both find their match in thick, toothsome bucatini, cooked to al dente so they’re bite-worthy. Once the leafy greens are wilting, alongside soft slices of mushrooms, you’ll be a 10-minute pasta night hero.

Preparation
Boil the pasta
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta; stir gently to separate. Boil, 8 to 10 min., until al dente. Reserving ½ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Start the beef
Meanwhile, in a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the beef; season with S&P. Cook, breaking up the meat, 2 to 4 min., until partially cooked; season with the spices.
Finish the beef & cook the vegetables
To the pan of beef, add the mushrooms, tomatoes, garlic and S&P. Cook, stirring frequently, 3 to 5 min., until the vegetables are tender and the beef* is cooked through.
Combine the pasta & serve
To the pan of beef and vegetables, add the pasta, spinach, demi-glace, reserved cooking water and S&P. Cook, stirring frequently, scraping up any browned bits, 1 to 2 min., until the sauce has thickened and the pasta is combined. Add 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions); stir well. Divide the pasta between your bowls. Bon appétit!
