  5. Once cooked always reserve the cooking water and drain the pasta to a colander.

  6. For the Sauce:

  7.  In a non-stick pan heat 2 tsp of olive oil.

  8.  Don’t over heat it.

  9.  Add the chopped green onions, garlic and saute.

  10.  Don’t cover it or u will loose the green color of the onions.

  11.  If you cannot get hold of green onions you can use red onions or white ones.

  12.  Once the onions are sauteed add the sausages (chopped and quartered) to it and mix well.

  13.  Add spinach paste and saute for a minute.

  14.  Now add the drained pasta and mix it carefully.

  15.  To give the pasta depth add some of the cooking liquid that you saved. About half a cup or so to thicken the sauce.

  16.  Let it cook for 2 minutes.

  17.  Now add the mint sauce and toss the pasta for 3-4 minutes

  18.  Add salt and pepper. Be careful with the pepper because you have already added a spicy mint sauce.
