250 g Orecchiette pasta
1 tb Good-quality olive oil
1 Italian sausage (hot or
Sweet)
1 c Simple Tomato Sauce
2 c Fresh baby spinach, washed
And dried
Parmesan cheese
Cook pasta. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large saute pan over
medium-high heat. Cut sausage into 1/2" thick slices; add to hot
oil and saute until brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Stir in
tomato sauce; bring to a boil, then reduce to low and simmer until
sausage is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add sauce to cooked,
drained pasta. Stir in baby spinach and toss to combine (don't
worry if this seems like a lot of spinach - the heat from the
pasta will wilt it down to a manageable amount). Sprinkle with
parmesan cheese and serve, piping hot, with some crusty bread to
mop up the sauce.
