Ingredients
  

For the Pasta
  • 1 lb Pasta of choice Penne or fusilli recommended
  • 1 pinch Salt For boiling water
For the Sausage
  • 1 lb Italian sausage Fresh or mild
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil For sautéing
For the Sauce
  • 1 can Canned tomatoes Crushed or diced
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1 medium Onion Finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp Italian herbs Oregano and basil

Method
 

Cooking the Pasta
  1. Boil a large pot of salted water over medium-high heat. Once boiling, add your favorite pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.
Preparing the Sausage
  1. Sauté diced onions and minced garlic in olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until the onions are translucent and fragrant, which takes about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add sliced sausage to the skillet and brown for about 5-7 minutes until golden crisp.
Combining Ingredients
  1. Mix in chopped bell peppers and spinach, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until the peppers soften and the spinach wilts.
  2. Combine the cooked pasta with the sausage mixture in the skillet. Toss everything together gently over low heat for 2-3 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
Serving
  1. Serve hot, garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of cracked black pepper.
