Pasta With Sausage, Spinach, and Pine Nuts

serves 4
...2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 pound hot Italian turkey sausage, cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
2 tablespoons pine nuts
1 garlic clove, minced (April used 3 cloves)
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 (9-oz) package fresh fettuccine (April used about 12 oz of dry fettuccine)
1 (9-oz) bag baby spinach (April used more)
Cook the pasta in large pot according to package directions. Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. (This took me longer because I sliced my sausage a little thicker.) Add the pine nuts, garlic, and red pepper; cook, stirring frequently until the nuts are lightly browned and the sausage is dark brown, about 2 minutes. Add spinach and continue to cook 1-2 minutes, or until sausage is cooked through.
Return pasta to the pot; add sausage spinach mixture and reserved pasta cooking water. Toss to coat. (April topped with parmesan cheese.)
