1
- Strip thyme leaves from stems, then roughly chop.
- Add vinegar, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a large bowl. Stir to combine. Add spring mix. Do not mix until step 5.
2
- Add spaghetti to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min.
- Reserve 1/2 cup (1 cup) pasta water.
- When pasta is done, drain and return spaghetti to the same pot, off heat.
3
- Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter, then mirepoix, sausage and thyme. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook, breaking up sausage into small pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.**
4
- Add marinara sauce, stock powder, cream and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) reserved pasta water to the pan with sausage.
- Bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly, 4-5 min.
5
- Add bolognese sauce to the pot with spaghetti, then toss to coat. (TIP: For a lighter sauce consistency, add more reserved pasta water, 1-2 tbsp at a time, if desired.)
- Toss salad.
- Divide spaghetti bolognese and salad between plates.
- Sprinkle Parmesan over top.

If you've opted to get sausage, cook it in the same way the recipe instructs you to cook the pork.
