Quinoa, Sausage & Spinach Skillet

Last month I purchased some Italian sausage not knowing it was vegan. I had used it to make a dish and loved it so much I bought it again. I also obtained some organic spinach, and because I don't eat enough vegetables decided to come up with a new dish.

The sausage comes in a casing which you cut open to remove it. It is then like regular sausage last time I just chopped it up as it was cooking. Well I decided to add some tomato sauce to my dish, and found it easier to chop up the sausage while it cooked in the sauce.

Earlier I had placede the spinach in a strainer, and set on top of a bowl. As it thawed I would walk by and use the spoon to squeeze the water out of it. I have been using this method for a while now and it works so good and takes little effort.

At this time the quinoa was cooking along side it, I choose my seasonings, and added them to the sausage, and tomato sauce, then added my spinach. I had one 17.64 oz box of Pomi tomato sauce, along with a half that was enough. You might want more or less I found this perfect. Once the quinoa was finished I put them altogether, and tasted it to see if I needed to add any more seasoning.

This is the first quinoa dish I have made that picky 14 year old actually would not only taste, but liked. Yeah we have a new dish!!
