To buy
- 3 cups fresh spinach or arugula
From your shelf
- 1 box (9 oz) sausage and tomato rotini
Staples
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- Pour the box of rotini into a large skillet and warm over medium heat, stirring often, until heated through and the pasta begins to stick slightly to the pan, about 5 to 7 minutes. The edges will start to brown a bit.
- Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 3 cups of fresh spinach or arugula, folding it in as it wilts over the heat, until the greens are tender, about 1 minute. Taste and adjust with salt and pepper.
Note Swap the greens for roughly chopped kale if you prefer; add it in the same step and give it two minutes to wilt. This dish keeps in the fridge for two days and reheats gently on the stove over low heat. Serve with grated Parmesan and crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
