Ingredients
Method
In saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; cook garlic, carrot, onion, salt and pepper, stirring, for about 8 minutes or until softened. Add tomatoes, breaking up with spoon; bring to boil. Stir in beans and ham (if using) until heated through.
Meanwhile, in large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta and potato for 8 to 10 minutes or until tender but firm. Drain and return to pot. Add bean mixture and spinach; toss gently to coat. Serve sprinkled with cheese.
