Sausage and Spinach over Linguini
This is a Weight Watchers recipe variation that has found its way into our hearts...and tummies. Takes literally 15 minutes to prepare, so it's awesome for busy nights.
One Package Sweet Turkey Sausage Links, cut into thin slices
One Package Fresh Spinach
3T Pine nuts (or more)
1T Olive Oil
Red Pepper Flakes (around 1t)
Whole Wheat Linguini
Boil linguini according to directions.
While pasta cooks:
Sautee sausage links in olive oil until browned. Add pine nuts and red pepper flakes, toasting the pine nuts. Toss in the bagged spinach and stir until wilted.
Drain pasta, reserving 1/3 cup of the liquid.
Pour starchy water into the sausage mixture, tossing well and serve over the pasta.
Add Parmesan cheese because no pasta dish is complete without it.
You can add mushrooms, garlic, and onions to this too, sauteeing with the sausage, but my husband is quite the purist. I quote: "Can we please just follow the recipe as it was written?"
When we are off carbs, I use two bags of spinach for bulk. Celiac friendly.
