Pasta Pomodoro with Italian Sausage

It is so easy to make great tomato sauce from scratch! I added some spinach for some veggies, but you can add whatever you have in your fridge. This is a great week night meal to whip up in 20 minutes after you get home from work!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb pasta (I used dried pappardelle)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 lb Italian sausage
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 28 oz can of peeled, whole tomatoes
• 6-10 basil leaves
• 2 handfuls of spinach
• 1 tsp sugar
• Salt and pepper

Instructions:

• Cook the pasta according to the package directions
• Brown the sausage in a pan with olive oil
• Once the sausage is cooked, add the garlic, and cook for 2 mins
• Add the can of tomatoes, sugar, S&P to the sausage and break up the tomatoes with your spoon, cook for 5 mins
• Add the pasta, spinach, and basil and toss for a few minutes, so the sauce coats the pasta
• Serve, and sprinkle with parmesan cheese

Enjoy!
