450gramspasta,cooked and drained

Instructions
In a large Dutch oven, over medium heat, add the olive oil, ground beef, and chopped onions. Stirring often, cook until the beef is fully browned.
Next, add the garlic and stir into the beef and onion mixture. Cook for one minute.
Add the tomato paste, salt, ground black pepper, dried red pepper flakes, Rotel tomatoes, diced tomatoes with juice, and tomato sauce. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce heat to simmer, cover with a heavy lid and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
In the meantime, cook the pasta in salted water until just cooked. Do not overcook, it because it will be added to the soup later. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
Once the soup is done simmering, add the spinach and stir to combine.
Next, add the cooked and drained pasta. Stir into the soup. Turn off the heat.
Serve the soup and garnish with fresh mozzarella, chopped parsley, and dried red chili flakes, if desired.
