    DIRECTIONS

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet (stainless steel best) over medium high heat. Add the frozen peppers and onions, and cook until soft / water cooked off (5-10 min).
  • Add sausage to skillet and break it up with a wooden spoon into smaller pieces. Cook until no longer pink. When the meat is still a little pink, add minced garlic.
  • Pour in about 1/4 cup of the chicken stock / broth into the pan, and use it to deglaze any meat / veggies stuck to the pan.
  • Add in pasta and spread it evenly over the pan.
  • Then pour the rest of the chicken stock / broth as well as the milk over the pasta. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, and cover while simmering for 20 minutes.
  • Stir in the spinach a handful at a time and cook until wilted. Stir in the parmesan cheese, and then season with salt and pepper to taste.
