Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
3 links cooked chicken sausage (9 ounces), sliced into rounds
-
1 cup diced onion (see Tip)
-
1 clove garlic, minced
-
1 (8 ounce) can no-salt-added tomato sauce
-
4 cups lightly packed baby spinach (half of a 5-ounce box)
-
6 cups cooked whole-wheat rotini pasta
-
¼ cup chopped pitted Kalamata olives
-
½ cup finely crumbled feta cheese
-
¼ cup chopped fresh basil (Optional)
Directions
-
Heat oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage, onion and garlic; cook, stirring often, until the onion is starting to brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Add tomato sauce, spinach, pasta and olives; cook, stirring often, until bubbling hot and the spinach is wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons water, if necessary, to keep the pasta from sticking. Stir in feta and basil, if using.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
