Instructions
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Roughly chop spinach.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then sausage. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up sausage and stirring often until sausage is cooked through, 4-6 min**. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm. [Use the same pan to make sauce in step 2.]
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then swirl to melt.
