Introduction
Use either hot or sweet Italian-style turkey (or chicken) sausage here. Pork sausage can be substituted, but you will have to drain off the extra fat before adding the pasta. When you are adding the spinach, it may seem like a lot at first, but it wilts down substantially. Ziti can also be used here. Use either hot or sweet Italian-style turkey (or chicken) sausage here.

3 cloves minced garlic
