Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz pasta (farfalle or penne)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 oz crimini mushrooms, sliced
  • 15 oz Italian sausage, mild, crumbled
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • salt and coarsely ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta according to package instructions in salted water. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove mushrooms and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add crumbled Italian sausage and cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes until cooked through. Drain excess fat.
  4. To the skillet with sausage, add minced garlic, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, marinara sauce, and fresh spinach. Bring to a boil, stirring well. Reduce heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes until spinach wilts.
