Sun-dried tomatoes bring a tangy sweetness that balances the richness.

A little crushed red pepper adds heat, and wilted spinach provides earthy notes and nutrients.

Mozzarella pearls are the perfect size for mixing into the finished dish.

We use white miso, which is light and slightly sweet.

Chile-garlic sauce adds nice heat, while lime juice and zest brighten the flavor.

Stir in lemon juice and zest at the end for a bright finish.

Meanwhile, the residual heat of the pasta wilts the spinach in record time for a fast weeknight dinner.

Be sure to save some of the pasta-cooking water, as it helps the sauce emulsify.
