Looking for a quick lunch that can be served hot or chilled? This is so easy and so good.

2 cups Penne Pasta - cooked and drained

3 links Italian sausage browned and sliced into bite size pieces

2 cans stewed tomatoes (no need to add seasoning, the seasoning is in the stewed tomatoes.

1 bag washed baby spinach

1 cup mozzarella cheese, diced

1/2 cup parmesean cheese, grated

Brown sausage in a large skillet. When cooked through, remove the sausage and drain the pan. Return the sausage to the pan, add tomatoes and spinach then cover. Cook on medium heat until spinach is wilted.

Put pasta in a large bowl, toss with sausage, tomato, spinach mixture.

Add cheeses, toss again.

Serve warm with garlic toast or chill and serve cold.

NOTE: I used mild turkey sausage. You can add whichever you prefer.
