Penne with Sausage and Spinach image

I got this recipe from a neighbor who was a good friend, and we were discussing quick recipes, that were different from the usual pasta with red sauce.My husband loves this recipe, and requests it often. I even make it for company, and it makes a wonderful presentation. My friends always ask me for the recipe. I hope you enjoy it...

This recipe was a disaster! The sauce was watery and the sausage was tough. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

Easy to make and very flavorful. I used a combination of sweet and hot Italian sausage, and it was delicious. The spinach added a nice touch of freshness. I will definitely make this again.

Very tasty! I used a spicy Italian sausage and it gave the dish a nice kick. I also added some mushrooms and bell peppers to the sauce, and they turned out great. Will definitely make this again.

This recipe was amazing! I made it for a dinner party and everyone raved about it. The sausage and spinach were cooked perfectly, and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

Not a fan of this recipe. The sauce was too oily and the spinach was overcooked. I think I'll stick to my usual penne with sausage recipe.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and red pepper flakes, and it improved it a lot. Overall, it's a good starting point for a penne with sausage and spinach dish.

This recipe was a hit with my family! The flavors of the sausage, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes blended perfectly. I added a bit of red pepper flakes for a little kick, and it turned out fantastic. Definitely a keeper!
