avery's spinach pasta

My family doesn't eat pasta very often and spinach is a tough stand alone, when it isn't hiding in a smoothie! Avery is my fussiest eater and she can't get enough of this pasta. She actually jumps up and down with excitement when this is on the menu. This is one of those recipes that I always have the ingredients on hand, and there are only six ingredients. Can you say super fast  and amazingly good for you.  If my pickiest eater asks for this dish, you definitely need to give it a try. I know this will become one of your go to weeknight meals when you need something fast and healthy.

1 pound quality sourced ground beef
