Ingredients

1. 1 T olive oil
2. 1 lb Italian turkey sausage, casings removed
3. 3 medium garlic cloves, minced finely
4. 3 1/2 c water
5. 2 1/2 c chicken broth
6. 1/2 c oil packed sun-dried tomatoes, rinsed and chopped fine
7. 1/2 t salt
8. 12 oz (about 3 1/2 cups) rotini pasta
9. 1 (6 oz) bag baby spinach
10. 3/4 c grated Parmesan cheese
11. salt to taste
12. pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Heat the oil in a 12 inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot and add in the sausage.
2. Cook until lightly browned and no longer pink about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
4. tir in the water, broth, sun dried tomatoes, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, then add in the pasta.
5. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook at a strong simmer, stirring often, until the pasta is tender and the liquid has thickened, about 15-18 minutes (if you find the liquid is absorbing too quickly and the pasta is still undercooked, add a bit more water in small amounts until the pasta is cooked thoroughly).
6. Stir in the spinach, a handful at at time, and cook until wilted.
7. Off the heat, stir in the cheese.
8. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
