Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb italian-style turkey sausage, casings removed
3 garlic cloves, minced (or pressed )
2 1/2 cups water
2 cups low sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup sun-dried tomato packed in oil, rinsed and chopped fine
salt
8 oz penne
1 (6 oz) bag baby spinach
1/2 cup grated fresh parmesan cheese
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
ground black pepper

Directions:

Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over med-high heat until just smoking.
Add in sausage and cook, breaking apart the meat, until lightly browned and no longer pink, 3-5 minutes.
Stir in garlic; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Stir in the water, broth, sun-dried tomatoes, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, then add in the pasta.
Increase heat to high and cook at a vigorous simmer, stirring often, until the pasta is tender and the liquid has thickened, about 15-18 minutes.
Stir in the spinach, a handful at a time, and cook until wilted.
Off the heat, stir in the Parmesan cheese and pine nuts.
Season to taste with salt and pepper; serve.
