A little bit of Sunday meal prep goes a long way in this one-dish pasta recipe. Chicken sausage with feta is especially good in this recipe.

Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 15 minutes Total Time: 20 minutes Servings: 3 Calories: 487 calories

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 links cooked chicken sausage (9 ounces), sliced into rounds
• 1 cup diced onion (see Tip)
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 (8-ounce) can of no-salt-added tomato sauce
• 4 cups lightly packed baby spinach (half of a 5-ounce box)
• 6 cups cooked whole-wheat rotini pasta
• ¼ cup chopped pitted Kalamata olives
• ½ cup finely crumbled feta cheese
• ¼ cup chopped fresh basil (Optional)

Directions

• Heat oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage, onion, and garlic; cook, stirring often, until the onion is starting to brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Add tomato sauce, spinach, pasta, and olives; cook, stirring often, until bubbling hot and the spinach is wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons water, if necessary, to keep the pasta from sticking. Stir in feta and basil, if using.
