Penne with Sausage and Spinach image

I got this recipe from a neighbor who was a good friend, and we were discussing quick recipes, that were different from the usual pasta with red sauce.My husband loves this recipe, and requests it often. I even make it for company, and it makes a wonderful presentation. My friends always ask me for the recipe. I hope you enjoy it...

I would give this recipe a 4 out of 5 stars. It was easy to make and the flavors were good, but it wasn't anything special. I would probably make it again if I was short on time, but I wouldn't go out of my way to make it.

This recipe is a keeper! It's easy to make, delicious, and perfect for a weeknight meal. I love that it's also a good way to use up leftover sausage and spinach.

The sauce was a bit too thick for my liking, but the sausage and spinach were cooked perfectly. I would try this recipe again with a different sauce.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I would have liked more garlic and Italian seasoning. Otherwise, it was a good basic recipe.
