Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a large 12 inch deep fry pan or skillet, cook spinach and garlic in 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Cook until spinach is wilted (approximately 5 minutes).
  2. Transfer spinach to cutting board to cool. When cool, chop spinach.
  3. In hot skillet, add the other tablespoon olive oil.
  4. Add chopped zucchini.
  5. Salt and pepper, to taste.
  6. Cook until lightly browned (about 3 minutes). Set zucchini aside.
  7. Turn heat to medium high.
  8. Add sausage and crushed red pepper.
  9. Cook until browned (about 7 minutes). Drain if you like; I don't because turkey sausage is generally pretty lean.
  10. Add tomatoes, zucchini, spinach, and half and half.
  11. Cook on medium high for ten minutes; reduce heat to low.
  12. Meanwhile, boil water and cook pasta.
  13. Drain pasta (do not rinse) and add to sausage mixture.
  14. Cook on low for about five minutes or until sauce is slightly thickened.
