This is an obscenely easy and quick meal! Really tasty with the addition of some garlic - also salt in the pasta water. A keeper for sure...

So easy to make, I used a Hot Italian Turkey Sausage for the dish. I made some alterations in the recipe: I added fresh basil instead of dried, I also added some fresh chopped spinach, I added minced garlic and a large can of petite diced tomatoes and a small can of tomato sauce. It was a great dish and a good change up from the usual pasta and tomato sauce.

This was a really easy & tasty pasta dish. I made a couple of changes, I added chopped onion, italian seasoning and a large can of petite chopped tomatoes. Next time I may try the Italian chopped tomatoes. I also used the Italian sweet sauage and I will be making this again.
