A friend served this recipe to me as a vegetarian dish. I enjoyed it, but my husband and three sons love meat, so I added turkey Italian sausage. Ingredients:
3 ounces uncooked penne pasta |
2 italian turkey sausage links (about 1/2 pound), casings removed |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
4 cups packed torn fresh spinach |
1/4 cup golden raisins, optional |
1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules |
2 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped |
1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted |
2 tablespoons shredded parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Crumble sausage into a skillet. Cook over medium heat until no longer pink; drain and set aside.
2. In same skillet, cook garlic in oil for 1-2 minutes. Add the spinach, raisins if desired and bouillon. Cook and stir until spinach is wilted. Stir in tomatoes and sausage.
3. Drain pasta; transfer to a serving bowl. Add spinach mixture; toss gently. Garnish with almonds and Parmesan cheese. Yield: 2 servings.
