Sausage and Veggie Pasta

Ingredients
6 links of mild Italian sausage
1/2 pound of pasta
1 green pepper
1.5 cups of spinach
1/2 cup of chopped kale
1 red tomato
3 cloves of garlic
Pinch of salt
Pinch of pepper
1 t. of olive oil

1/2 cup of parmesan cheese

First, start cooking your sausage in a grill pan.  While it's cooking, boil your water and get your pasta cooked.   Once it's cooked, drain the pasta and add it to a large bowl. I chose pasta "wheels" but bow tie, penne, or any other chunky pasta works.  After the sausage is browned and cooked thoroughly, set it off to the side to rest.  Keep the pan on the stove for your veggies.


Dice up your green pepper and tomato.  Throw on the pan you used to cook your sausage (no olive oil needed).  Add minced garlic in with the green pepper and tomato and let cook until browned.  While the pepper, tomato, and garlic are cooking, put a little olive oil into a small lidded pot and add in the kale and spinach.  Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper and cover with a lid to let it steam.  This only takes a couple of minutes at most.   

Cut up your sausage into small bite-sized rounds and add to pasta.  Add in all of your veggies and give a good toss.  Sprinkle on some parmesan cheese and serve.
