I waited all week, and saved up so many points, for this dish. This sausage spinach sun-dried tomato pasta was so worth it. Might be one of my favorites! The tomatoes combine together so perfectly and give the dish such a unique and vibrant taste. Plus, this sausage is one of my newest obsessions. Add some spinach in there for some veggies!!
