Description

My most favorite go-to dinner using baby spinach, turkey sausage, and diced tomatoes.

Ingredients

  • 1 package Turkey Sausage (or Regular Italian Sausage)
  • 1 can Diced Tomatoes
  • 1 box Farfalle Pasta (or Your Favorite Type Of Pasta)
  • 1 package Baby Spinach (or Less)
  • ¼ cups Mozzarella
  • ¼ cups Parmesan Cheese

Preparation

You can use your favorite type of pasta (ziti, penne, rigatoni, farfalle all work perfectly fine) for this. Use lots and lots of cheese. Feel free to work with parmesan, mozzarella, or you can use a blend of 6 Italian cheeses.

First, you have to peel the sausage right out of their casings. Tear the meat up into large chunks. Next, brown it up. After you’ve started to brown the sausage, start boiling the pasta. Then add a can of diced tomatoes to the sausage (or if you would prefer, dice up a REAL tomato). Bring the sausage and tomato mix to a boil. I want to see some steam.

Let the sauce simmer for a while. You want to make sure it thickens up and isn’t too soupy. Next, throw in the spinach – lots and lots of baby spinach. Just keep in mind that the spinach will wilt down to nothing, so once you feel like you’ve added too much, throw in another handful.

Once the sauce has thickened and the spinach has wilted, take a big handful of cheese and throw it in.

Add the sausage-tomato mix to a nice heaping bowl of the pasta and you’re done.

I just tried this recipe last week and I LOVED it!!!! So easy and delicious. Even the kids loved it.

Tonight I made it again and I added a couple cloves of diced garlic to the sausage while it was browning and it really added a nice little extra zing to it.
