- After 7 minutes, your water should be boiling, add the bean pasta and cook for 7 minutes.
- At the same time, add the garlic to the frying pan and cook for a further 5 minutes. By this point, the tomatoes should start to disintegrate and create a sauce. For the last 2 minutes, add spinach to wilt and the crayfish to heat through.
