I needed to get dinner on the table fast tonight. We had practices, pickups and places to be so I was looking for something healthy, filling and quick! This pasta is super easy and takes less than 15 minutes to throw together, while being packed with flavor!
I like to make my own pasta sauces and of course I use sauce from a jar too, but tonight I wanted something that felt a little lighter. The olive oil lightly coats the pasta and the crushed red pepper gives it some heat (I used a little more than listed in the recipe, so adjust on the “taste” step!). The spinach and tomatoes give the dish a really fresh taste. YUM!
If you need the meats and still want this on the table fast, some shredded rotisserie chicken tossed in would be perfect!

While the pasta is cooking, bring a skillet to medium heat.
