| 1. In a large 12 inch deep fry pan or skillet, cook spinach and garlic in 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Cook until spinach is wilted (approximately 5 minutes). | 2. Transfer spinach to cutting board to cool. When cool, chop spinach. | 3. In hot skillet, add the other tablespoon olive oil. | 4. Add chopped zucchini. | 5. Salt and pepper, to taste. | 6. Cook until lightly browned (about 3 minutes). Set zucchini aside. | 7. Turn heat to medium high. | 8. Add sausage and crushed red pepper. | 9. Cook until browned (about 7 minutes). Drain if you like; I don't because turkey sausage is generally pretty lean. | 10. Add tomatoes, zucchini, spinach, and half and half. | 11. Cook on medium high for ten minutes; reduce heat to low. | 12. Meanwhile, boil water and cook pasta. | 13. Drain pasta (do not rinse) and add to sausage mixture. | 14. Cook on low for about five minutes or until sauce is slightly thickened. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
