No Name Pasta Dish

I don't usually name things, I usually leave that up to the people eating it so I'm open to suggestions. :) How about Italian sausage, tomato, spinach, pasta thingy? :p

1 lb Italian sausage out of casing (2-3 links)
1 c grape tomatoes sliced in half
2 c spinach (fresh)
2 Tbspn olive oil
1 Tbspn Italian seasoning
salt & pepper to taste
1 lb pasta (I used whole wheat which blends nicely with the strong flavors in the dish)

To start, get your pasta water boiling since that takes a while on most stoves.

Put your olive oil in a 12" frying pan over medium high heat and add the sausage. Break up the sausage as it cooks leaving small lumps for texture. Once browned, add the slices tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Let cook for 5 minutes until the tomatoes cook down a bit and release their juices - see pic.




Add the spinach, yes, it looks like a lot but it cooks down to near nothing as seen in the pics below. Turn your heat down to low or simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes or until reduced. Taste and season with salt and pepper.





Drain your pasta and dump into the frying pan with the sausage mixture and mix to combine. Plate and top with parmesan or romano cheese.




Enjoy!
