Italian Sausage Pasta

My Mother-in-law made this Pasta w/ Italian Sausage one night when we were over there & it was really good. I am not sure what ingredients she used exactly except for a couple of things. I now have made this recipe with a chicken broth sauce as well as a red wine marinara sauce. Below is the recipe using the chicken broth.

Ingredients:

1-1/4 cups Low Sodium Chicken Broth

8 oz. Pasta (I used bowtie)

1 lb. Italian Sausage (Go with Hot if you like spice)

3/4 of a bag of Fresh Baby Spinach

1 small container of Cherry Tomatoes, quartered

1 tsp. crushed red pepper (Optional)

1 small red onion, diced

4 cloves of garlic, minced

Salt & Pepper to taste

What to do:

1. Start cooking pasta
2. On the stove top, cook & brown your sausage
3. Drain your sausage once it is cooked all the way through & set to the side
4. In the same pan, add the onion-garlic and cook (about 5 min)
5. Add tomatoes-red pepper flakes & cook (about 2 min)

   6.   Add the sausage & chicken broth to pan and simmer (2-3 min)

   7.   To the mixture, add the fresh spinach & cook a few more mintues

   8.  Last but not least, add the pasta

   9.  Mix together well & serve
