Sausage Pasta

3/4 lb pasta
1 lb spicy Italian Sausage
1 onion, chopped
3-4 cloves, chopped or minced
1 14.5 oz can chicken broth ( I think only 1/2 a can is enough)
1 teaspoon dried basil (I use 1/3 c fresh)
1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
1 10 oz pkg frozen chopped spinach (use fresh or canned!  It is easier)
1/2 c grated parmesan cheese

Bring a lage pot of lightly salted water to a boil,  Add pasta and cook for 8-10 minutes to al dente, drain and reserve.

In a large skillet, cook sausage through until no longer pink.  During the last 5 minutes of cooking, add onion and garlic to skillet.  Add broth, basil and tomatoes with liquid .

Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes to slightly reduce.  Add chopped spinach, cover skillet and simmer on reduced heat until spinach is tender (this only takes a minute or two!)

Add pasta to skillet and mix. Sprinkle with cheese and serve.
