Method

  1. Cook the noodles in salted water until just tender, then drain.
  2. While the noodles cook, crumble the beef patty and sauté it in olive oil over medium heat until browned; set aside.
  3. In the same pan, sauté onion and garlic until translucent, then add sliced carrots and cook 3 minutes.
  4. Add spinach and cook until wilted, then pour in the milk, bringing to a gentle simmer.
  5. Stir in the cooked noodles and the browned beef, mixing everything into a creamy ensemble.
  6. Season with salt and pepper, spoon into a shallow dish, and let it sit for 2 minutes to let the flavors jam together before serving.

Use whole‑milk for a richer sauce, but low‑fat milk works just as well if you’re watching the line‑up.

Goes rather well with Donning a fedora and snapping fingers to a late‑night jazz club playlist while plating.
