Method

6 steps 10 min prep · 25 min cook

Cook

Step 1. Heat Olive Oil in a large, deep pot over medium-high heat. Add Pork Sausage and break it into small pieces; cook until browned and no pink remains, about 7 minutes.
Step 2. Add Onion and cook over medium heat until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in Garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 3. Stir in Canned Tomatoes, Water, and Salt, scraping the bottom of the pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, about 4 minutes.
Step 4. Stir in Penne and reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer. Cook uncovered, stirring often, until the pasta is tender and the sauce clings to it, about 12 minutes; add a splash of water if the pot gets dry.
Step 5. Fold in Baby Spinach over low heat until wilted, about 2 minutes. Take the pot off the heat.

Finish & serve

Step 6. Divide the pasta among bowls and sprinkle with Parmesan.

Tips

Good to know

Check the sausage with an instant-read thermometer; ground pork should reach 160°F.

Leftovers

Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days and reheat with a splash of water to loosen the sauce.

Swap it

Use uncooked mild Italian turkey sausage in place of pork sausage if you prefer.
