Tomato & Spinach Pasta Toss

This was a first-time recipe and it was great. We used a turkey sausage, but you could use any kind you like.

2 cups rotini or penne pasta, uncooked
1/2 lb hot or mild italian sausage (we used a whole pound, since it was lean)
1 pkg (6 oz) spinach leaves
1 can (14oz) diced tomatoes with basil, garlic, and oregano - undrained
1 cup shredded mozz cheese (we used a 4 cheese italian blend)
2 Tb grated Parm

Cook pasta. In skillet, crumble meat and brown. Drain. Add spinach and tomatoes; cook 2 min or until spinach is wilted, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, cover to keep warm.

Drain pasta, return to pot. Add meat mixture and cheese. Toss lightly.

(I just cooked the sausage/spinach thing in a giant pan and threw in the pasta and cheese at the end. Seemed easier and it was.)

This was definitely a one-dish winner. We have had a string of great ones this week. I am loving the leftovers!
