Ingredients
  

250g pasta of choice (penne or fusilli recommended)

300g Italian sausage (mild or spicy, casings removed)

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (400g) diced tomatoes

150g fresh spinach, washed and chopped

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Salt and pepper to taste

Grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

    Sauté the Sausage: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

      Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

        Combine with Tomatoes: Pour in the diced tomatoes (with juice), and stir in the oregano and red pepper flakes. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5-10 minutes, letting the flavors meld and the sauce slightly thicken.

          Incorporate Spinach: Add the chopped spinach to the skillet, stirring until it wilts and reduces in size. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

            Mix Pasta with Sauce: Add the drained pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat evenly. If the sauce seems too thick, gradually add the reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.

              Garnish and Serve: Serve the pasta in bowls topped with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves.
