Cook the pasta in boiling water according to package directions (~10-12 minutes), drain, and rinse with cold water. Set aside.

Heat a large pot over medium heat and lightly spray with avocado oil. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook 5-7 minutes until softened.

Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper.

Stir in garlic, tomato paste, and spices; cook 30-60 seconds until fragrant.

Add crushed tomatoes, bone broth, beans, sugar (or sweetener), parmesan rind, and baking soda if using. Stir well.

Bring to a gentle boil, then lower heat and simmer for 35-40 mins.

Stir in spinach, parm, and cooked pasta and cook until the spinach is just wilted.

Adjust seasoning to taste. Don't forget to remove the parmesan rind!

Serve hot with extra parm on top.
