Brown Rice Pasta with Chicken Sausage!

Amanda Alimo Girl in the Healthy City

Hey there people! Looking for a quick and easy recipe? This dish was super fast, delicious, and loaded with nutritional benefits. Here are the details:

Ingredients:
1 cup of brown rice pasta
2 handfuls of fresh baby spinach
1/2 can of kidney beans
2 links of chicken sausage (can usually be found in your grocers meat section)
3 tablespoons of olive oil
Dash of salt/pepper

Boil a pot of water and cook the pasta for about 10 minutes over medium heat. Strain and put aside. In a separate pan, cook bite sized pieces of chopped sausage links in a skillet over medium heat. Be sure to flip each pieces every few minutes to ensure all sides are golden brown. Cook sausage completely through and put aside with pasta. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same pan and toss in all of the baby spinach over medium-low heat. Stir often and cook until spinach has decreased in size. Then add the kidney beans. Allow the ingredients to cook for an additional minute and add them to the pasta/sausage that was set aside. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the mix, dashing in salt and pepper. Mix and enjoy!
