In a saucepan or frying pan, put one tablespoon of olive oil in the pan, heat until oil flows easy (7-8). Add onions, (Bacon and Beef if non veg). Let onions simmer for 5 mins or till they brown, (same with meats). Add Basil, Oregano, Thyme, and Garlic; blend well with onions (and meat). Add mushrooms and peppers, cook till both become supple (about 4-5 mins). Add spinach and a little bit of water. Cover for 2 mins to let the flavours sink into the veggies (and meat). Pour sauce or diced tomatoes over ingredients, turn to low (3-4) heat and let simmer for 3-4 mins. Finally, add the desired amount of grated cheese and mix until melted and blended well. Then pour the sauce over desired pasta. Enjoy!
