Scale
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ medium white or yellow onion, peeled and minced
4 cups fresh or frozen spinach leaves
4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 ½ teaspoons coarse salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions
Heat the olive oil to medium-low in a Dutch oven or large pot. Add the onion and spinach and saute 4-5 minutes or until the onion is soft.
Stir in the garlic, curry powder, salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes and saute 30-60 seconds or until fragrant.
Stir in the peas and saute 60-90 seconds.
Add the stock, diced tomatoes and evaporated milk and bring to a simmer. Stir in the pasta and cook 8-10 minutes or until the pasta is al dente and the sauce is thickened, stirring frequently. Reduce the heat, if needed, to maintain a low simmer.
Stir in the lemon zest and juice. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
