Sausage and Spinach over Pasta

This recipe is adapted from Cooking Light's Sausage-Spinach Rice Bowl, with a couple of changes and served over pasta instead of rice.

**This is my husband's favorite dish that I make right now, most recently I made it for our 2 month wedding anniversary last week-he loves it!!!

Ingredients:

8oz pasta of your choice
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 links of hot or sweet turkey sausage, casings removed (depends how spicy you like your food!)
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 teaspoons minced garlic
1 (6 ounce) package of baby spinach
1/2 cup light, fat free, reduced sodium chicken broth (I use College Inn)

Directions:

1) Cook pasta according to package directions.

2) Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Add oil to pan, swirl to coat.

3) Add pepper flakes and sausage to pan, cook 4-6 minutes-until sausage is browned, stir to crumble.
4) Add garlic, cook 30 seconds, stirring constantly.  Add spinach, cook 30 seconds, or until spinach begins to wilt, stirring constantly.

5) Add chicken stock and cooked pasta, bring to simmer for one minute.

6) Serve with Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. The Cooking Light recipe calls for 1/4 cup of shaved Parmesan-Reggiano cheese on top, but we just sprinkle a bit of shredded or grated Parmesan on ours-whichever we happen to have!
