ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH SAUSAGE & SPINACH

Angel Hair Pasta with Sausage & Spinach image

You won't miss the marinara sauce once you taste this pasta dish flavored with chicken broth and Italian sausage. The sauce simmers away on its own, without much work on your part. My husband likes it so much that I make it twice a week. -Daphine Smith, Baytown, Texas
