    How to Make Tuscan-Style Turkey Sausage and Spinach Penne

    1. Sauté Sausage

    Heat olive oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the sausage, crumbling it with a spoon, and sauté until it's no longer pink and starts to brown, about 3 minutes. Mix in the minced garlic and sauté until aromatic, about 30 seconds.

    2. Cook Penne

    Pour in the chicken broth and water, then add the penne pasta and sun-dried tomatoes, seasoning with a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring frequently, until the penne is al dente and the liquid has reduced to a thick sauce, approximately 15 to 18 minutes.

    3. Incorporate Spinach

    Gradually fold in the spinach, a handful at a time, allowing it to wilt into the hot pasta. Remove the skillet from the heat, then gently stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and toasted pine nuts. Adjust seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper according to taste.
