"This is a delicious,EASY, one pan dinner. If you love sausage and peppers (doesn't everyone?), you'll love this, too. Serve with fresh green salad and crusty bread for a complete meal."

A delicious alternative to the usual spaghetti w/ tomato sauce. Clean up was a breeze--only using one pan. Leeannr thanks for posting this easy keeper recipe. With only rave reviews I will definitely be making this recipe often.

What a nice change. BF disagrees with the 5* rating, he thought there was too much spinach. To spice it up a little, I added a little tomato sauce. Nice to have only 1 pan to wash;)
