Step 1

Cook pasta. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta according to the instructions. Once al dente, drain and set aside to cool. When draining, reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water.

Step 2

Cook the chicken sausage. When the water is about to boil, you’ll start cooking your chicken and veggies. Add oil to a large skillet over medium heat and let it get hot. Then add sliced chicken sausage and cook for 3-4 minutes until browned on one side (make sure not to move in the pan when cooking). Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 3

Cook the veggies. In the same pan, add mushrooms and saute for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add chopped spinach and saute for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Turn down the heat to low.

Step 4

Assemble. Add your marinara sauce and cooked pasta to the pan and stir to combine. Then add in your goat cheese, and little pasta water (about 2 tablespoons worth), and salt and pepper, and mix well to combine. Let warm through, about 1 minute. If needed, add more pasta water if you want a thinner sauce.

Step 5

Enjoy! Top with toppings of choice and enjoy!
