| 1 | In a large skillet, cook the sausage along with the onion and garlic until the meat is no longer pink.

| Cooking Tips |
| Cooking the sausage and vegetable the night before is a real time saver, and take the spinach out of the freezer - let it defrost in the refrigerator over night. In the morning, just assemble in the crockpot and let cook. When it's dinner time, cook the pasta as directed, drain and stir into the crockpot along with the spinach and cheeses. Easy! |
