Pasta with Sausage

I had some sausage in the freezer and I was craving some pasta.  I threw together this random recipe and for once it worked.  I have not tested this out as a freezer meal but I do not see any reason why it wouldn't turn out.  This is toddler approved.  My little guy in the middle of dinner said to me "good Mommy". 

Ingredients

One diced onion
Some minced garlic
One can of tomato sauce
One small can of diced tomato
Penne (I used 4 handfuls)
Fresh basil
Sausage with case removed
Handful of cut up spinach
Shredded cheese (I use mozza about a cup)
Parmesan cheese
Bread crumbs

Heat oven to 400.

Heat some EVOO.  Add onion and garlic.  Once cooked, add sausage and brown. 

While browning the sausage, boil water and cook pasta.

Once sausage is broken up and cooked, add tomato sauce, diced tomato, fresh basil and spinach.  Mix all together and heat up till spinach is wilted.

Drain pasta from water and combine with meat and tomato mixture.  Mix everything together.  Once mixed put into baking dish.  Top with mozza cheese, parm cheese and bread crumbs.  Bake for about 20 minutes until topping is golden brown.
