How dinner comes together

1. 1

   Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Slice the peppers and onion, mince the garlic and remove the sausage from its casing if needed.

2. 2

   Cook the penne until just al dente according to the package directions; reserve 1 cup pasta water before draining.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, brown the sausage in the skillet, breaking it into bite-size pieces, until the ground pork reaches 160°F.

4. 4

   Add the peppers and onion with a pinch of kosher salt and cook until softened and lightly browned, 5–6 minutes; stir in the garlic and Italian seasoning.

5. 5

   Pour in the crushed tomatoes and simmer until slightly thickened, then fold in the spinach until it wilts.

6. 6

   Add the drained penne and enough reserved pasta water to coat every piece. Finish with torn basil and serve.
