2. Add the apple.
3. Remove the sausage from its casing and add to the pan, breaking it up as you would with minced meat.
4. Add a little water from the pasta pot to the sauce to make sure it doesn't dry out.
5. Season with pepper only as the Maltese sausage is already salty.
6. Add the spinach and cook until wilted.

8. Crumble the gbejniet over the top and toss.
