Steps:
- Heat 4-quart Dutch oven or heavy-bottom saucepan over medium heat. Add oil and onion. Stir in sugar. Cook 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onion starts to caramelize. Add sausage. Cook, breaking up sausage with spoon, until browned.
- Add couscous and stir, cooking 1 minute. Add wine; cook until wine has been absorbed by couscous. Add 1 cup of the broth; cook until broth is absorbed, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add remaining 1 cup broth, cooking until liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally. Add water, cooking until liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat. Stir in red pepper flakes, lemon peel, spinach leaves and Parmesan cheese, stirring until spinach wilts. Sprinkle with additional shredded Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve immediately.
