Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, reserving a splash of the pasta water.
While the pasta cooks, heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking the meat into small crumbles with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Done when no pink remains, 160°F.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the beef and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the marinara sauce and the reserved splash of pasta water. Bring to a light simmer for 2 minutes.
Add the cooked pasta and the spinach to the skillet. Toss constantly until the spinach has wilted and the pasta is well coated in the sauce.
