Spaghetti with Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Sausage, and Spinach

We loved the flavors of the Creamy Tuscan Chicken so much that I adapted that recipe to use shrimp, and went searching for more recipes! Then last week, when one kiddo requested "some kind of spaghetti" for that evening's meal, I knew this would be perfect.

Chicken sausage, spinach and sun dried tomatoes swim in a creamy sauce with plenty of spaghetti mixed in. It is amazingly delicious. You could substitute regular Italian sausage for the chicken sausage but I am a huge chicken sausage fan... feel free to use more spinach than it calls for too - that's a great way to get more greens into your (and your family's) diet.

I hope you enjoy this dish as much as we did, and will again soon!
