To start off boil water and cook about 8-10oz of bowtie pasta until done.
While that is happening saute some onions in oil until they are almost soft.
Then add about two cups of chopped spinach, and continue to saute.
Add smoked sausage (I used turkey sausage), and fry until slightly browned, and heated through.
Add a can of tomatoes with chilies.
Once the pasta is done, add it to the pan with the sausage.
In the pasta pan, melt the butter.
Add flour, and cook until slightly bubbly.
Add chicken broth, cook until it starts to thicken up.
Add the cheese, and stir until melted.
Combine with the pasta dish, and enjoy.
This was so easy to make, and you can totally customize it. No spinach? Use some frozen veggies. If you aren’t a fan of spice, then use a plain can of diced tomatoes. Want more spice? Add some crushed red pepper. Really, the possibilities are endless!
