Pasta Prep: 10 minutes. Fill large pot and bring to boil. Add pasta when you're ready to start making the sauce. Cook the pasta to package directions.

In a large skillet, spray a thin layer of cooking spray. Cook onions on medium high heat for five minutes or until translucent. Add garlic and cook for another two minutes and then add the can of fire roasted tomatoes. At this point add a little pinch of salt and pepper. Add vegetable stock, mushrooms, capers, and olives. Cover pan with lid and let simmer on low for 5 minutes. Uncover lid and add spinach in batches as it wilts. Pasta should be done cooking at this time.
