Cabanossi, Capsicum and Spinach Penne

Method

1. Cook pasta in a stockpot of boiling, salted water until tender. Drain. Return to same pan. Cover to keep warm.
2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add onion and cabanossi. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until onion is soft and cabanossi is lightly browned.
3. Add the capsicum. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in sauce and stock. Bring to boil. Gently boil for about 5 minutes, or until thickened. Remove from heat.
4. Add sauce to pasta with spinach. Stir over a low heat until spinach is just wilted, and pasta is hot. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Serve with parmesan.

TIP

Try adding 1 tsp dried chilli flakes with onion. Replace yellow capsicum with red or green. Cabanossi is available from the deli section of major supermarkets.
