Sausage and Spinach Pasta

The other night I made this Sausage and Spinach Pasta, a new family favorite. During the summer I like to plan easy meals that don’t require lots of prep or time in the kitchen. Let’s face it, I’d rather be hanging out at the pool but I still need to feed my family so I try to plan easy and healthy meals during the summer. It took less than 15 minutes to whip up this delicious meal and everyone loved it!

Ingredients:

1 package Artisan Fresh Chicken Sausage

1 pound Penne Pasta

Small yellow onion

2-3 garlic cloves

2 cups fresh spinach

1 cup cherry tomatoes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
