Roasted Red Pepper and Sausage Pasta

1 pound Italian sausage
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 - 16 oz. jar roasted red peppers, drained and pureed
4 oz cream cheese (low fat is ok)
1/2 cup grated parmesan
3-4 handfuls baby spinach
12 oz pasta of your choice

In a large skillet, saute the sausage with the garlic over medium heat until browned.

Stir in chicken broth, pureed roasted red pepper, milk and pasta. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer until pasta is cooked through, about 12 minutes. If the liquid has all been absorbed, add additional 1/4 each of milk and chicken broth.

Cut the cream cheese into cubes and stir into the pasta mixture until cream cheese melts.

Stir in spinach, 1 handful at a time, and cook until wilted and hot. Stir in parmesan until melted. Remove from heat and serve.
