12 ounces farfalle pasta (bowtie)
1 lb hot Italian turkey sausage (removed from casings)
1/4-1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/2 cup pine nuts

This farfalle dish was a hit! The sausage added a delicious savory flavor, while the pine nuts and spinach gave it a nice crunch and freshness. The tomatoes added a tangy sweetness that balanced out the other flavors perfectly.
