Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by boiling a pot of salted water over high heat. Once boiling, add 1 cup of shell pasta and cook according to package instructions, usually around 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Drain the pasta in a colander and set it aside.
- In a large skillet, spray with olive oil or add 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced zucchini and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it turns golden and tender. Then, toss in a handful of fresh spinach, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until wilted.
- Next, incorporate the sliced Applegate chicken sausage into the skillet. Stir and sauté for approximately 3-4 minutes until the sausage is heated through and lightly browned.
- Return the cooked pasta to the skillet with the veggies and sausage. Gently stir in ¼ cup of cream cheese or Alfredo sauce, ensuring everything is well coated. Continue mixing over low heat for about 2-3 minutes until the sauce is creamy.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the dish warm in deep bowls, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes
Store your pasta bowl in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge or freeze it for up to 2 months. Reheat gently with a splash of broth or water to restore creaminess.
