PASTA
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente, 8-10 minutes. Drain, reserving a cup of the pasta water, return to the pot, and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.
MUSHROOMS
Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the sliced onion and the sliced mushrooms until caramelised, 10-12 minutes (shifting occasionally). At the halfway mark, add the balsamic vinegar and a sweetener. Remove from the pan, season, and cover.
FRY THE BANGERS
Return the pan, wiped down, to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil (if necessary). Pat the sausages dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the sausages until browned and cooked through, 10-15 minutes (shifting as they colour). Remove from the heat and rest in the pan for 5 minutes before slicing into rounds.
TIME FOR SAUCE
Place a small pot over medium heat with 40g of butter. Once melted, vigorously whisk in the flour to form a roux. Cook out, 1-2 minutes (stirring constantly). Slowly whisk in the milk until the sauce thickens slightly. If the béchamel is too thick for your liking, loosen with the reserved pasta water until desired consistency. Remove from the heat and season.
MIX IT UP
Return the pot of cooked pasta to low heat and mix through the bechamel sauce, the caramelised balsamic onions & mushrooms, the rinsed spinach, and the sausage rounds. Loosen with the reserved pasta water if it’s too thick. Remove from the heat and season.
