Easy Cheesy Sausage Pasta

This is a delicious cheesy, sausage pasta to end a busy day with. Taking 20 minutes to make it’s super low effort. Most of the ingredients you’ll probably have in your cupboards already, and I even use frozen spinach because I hate it when I don't finish the bag of fresh spinach and end up throwing half of it away. So I switched to frozen so that I always have it in the freezer and just add it when I need, but if you’d prefer use fresh baby spinach.

I used fusilli but other pastas would work too such as penne or rigatoni. 

The pan to make the sauce I use my GreenPan. I bought this last year when I was considering buying the Always Pan, and the Green Pan is my favourite pan to cook with! I definitely don’t regret getting that over the Always Pan, and at less than half the price of the Always Pan it was worth every penny!
