Pasta with Sausage and Vegetables

Ingredients

12 ounces tube shaped pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound spicy Italian sausage
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste


Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain and reserve. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add sausage, onion and garlic and cook until sausage is no longer pink. Add broth, basil and tomatoes with their liquid. Continue cooking for about 5 minutes to slightly reduce liquid. Add chopped spinach; cover skillet and simmer on reduced heat until spinach is tender. Add pasta to skillet and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.


Let's Dish

This is a light yet hearty pasta dish that can be easily changed by using different vegetables. Peppers and mushrooms are good, but use whatever vegetables you have on hand or enjoy. You can even use thawed, frozen spinach in place of fresh. I also like to use hot Italian turkey sausage to make it a little bit healthier.
