INGREDIENTS

1 small onion, diced
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fennel seed
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp red pepper flakes
1 lb ground pork (can substitute pre-made sausage)
1 lb pasta (used Sfoglini trumpets)
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup pasta cooking liquid
4 oz grated Parmesan cheese
5 oz baby spinach
1 tbsp lemon zest

INSTRUCTIONS

In a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, warm 2 tbsp of olive oil. Add the onion, salt, and pepper. Sauté until slightly browned, 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Once the garlic has cooked, add the fennel, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, and ground pork. Break apart and cook the meat until browned, 6-8 minutes.

While the meat is browning in a large stockpot, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil. Add 2 tbsp of salt and the pasta. Cook until al dente, meaning the pasta has 1-2 minutes left until fully cooked. While cooking, scoop out 1 cup of the pasta water (see the next step). Once al dente, drain the pasta and return to the stockpot.

Once the meat is browned, add the heavy cream and the pasta water. Bring to a simmer and cook on medium-low heat for 2 minutes.

Add the Parmesan cheese and cream mixture to the drained pasta. Stir to combine over low heat. The pasta will finish cooking and absorb the sauce.

Finish by adding in the spinach to the pasta. Stir for 1 minute, allowing the spinach to wilt. Add the lemon zest at the end and serve immediately.

From my farm to your home. 🏡

My name is Kaleb Wyse and here, you will find delicious recipes, videos from my farm, garden, and fun home projects. My knowledge has been earned from years of home cooks and farmers in my family. https://wyseguide.com

A farm is much more than a house to live in; it’s a lifestyle. My passion for gardening and landscaping came from outdoor work with my mom in our expansive farm yard, my love for baking came from innumerable short walks to my grandma’s house to make cookies, and as a farmer, my dad taught me that we are the stewards of our land.

So whether you live in a city center or have decided rural life is for you, I hope to inspire you with the projects and recipes I use in daily life. We can’t all live on a farm, but we all need farms in our lives. From the dirt in my vegetable garden to the flour in my kitchen, I’ll show you everything I love to do.
