Tips:

  • Cook the sausage thoroughly: Make sure the sausage is cooked through before adding it to the pasta. This will help to prevent foodborne illness.
  • Use a large skillet: A large skillet will give you plenty of room to cook the sausage and spinach without overcrowding them.
  • Season the pasta well: Don't be afraid to add plenty of salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the pasta. This will help to bring out the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Serve immediately: Savory sausage and spinach penne is best served immediately after it is cooked. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become mushy if it sits for too long.
