Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 15 minutes Total Time: 20 minutes Servings: 3 Calories: 487 calories
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 links cooked chicken sausage (9 ounces), sliced into rounds
- 1 cup diced onion (see Tip)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 (8-ounce) can of no-salt-added tomato sauce
- 4 cups lightly packed baby spinach (half of a 5-ounce box)
- 6 cups cooked whole-wheat rotini pasta
- ¼ cup chopped pitted Kalamata olives
- ½ cup finely crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup chopped fresh basil (Optional)
Directions
- Heat oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage, onion, and garlic; cook, stirring often, until the onion is starting to brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Add tomato sauce, spinach, pasta, and olives; cook, stirring often, until bubbling hot and the spinach is wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons water, if necessary, to keep the pasta from sticking. Stir in feta and basil, if using.
