• Once the tomatoes begin to break down add the spinach, a large handful at a time, and stir it into the tomatoes until the spinach is wilted but still bright green (it should take max a couple of minutes).
• At this point the tomatoes have created a sauce-like mixture on the bottom of the pan. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Cook for a minute or two then stir in the black olives.
• Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions. Reserve about half a cup of pasta water before you drain the pasta.
• Add the creme fraîche to the tomatoes one tablespoon at a time stirring all the time. Once all the creme fraîche has been added stir in the grated cheese.Now start slowly adding the pasta water. Again you will need to do this slowly while stirring all the time. Add a few tablespoons at a time making sure the sauce is to your preference. Too much water will result in a watery sauce so go slowly. Season with the remaining salt and pepper.
• Once you have the consistency you like add the spinach. I do this one handful at a time and once that has wilted down add the next handful.Finally, tip the cooked pasta into the pan, stir in the basil and serve immediately. Top with more grated cheese if you wish.

Cook briefly until the garlic is fragrant (you want some color but do not burn the garlic).

Toss the spinach and cook until it is fully wilted (about 5 minutes). Add crushed red peppers and.1 tablespoon of za'atar.
• When the pasta is ready, drain, keeping a little bit more of the cooking water still.

• Tip: The spinach tends to clump together because of the cheese. You can separate it or leave it; the spinach clumps have a nice texture of their own.
• Tip: I was surprised to discover this tastes almost as good with no cheese at all. So you can make a much healthier version. It is also tolerant to different amounts of olive oil.
