I added some of the pasta water to the pan to give it a little more sauciness; other than that, it stood on its own. <br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/plazajen\/2545020719\/\" title=\"Sausage, Spinach, Mushroom, Onion, Garlic saute by plazajen, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2175\/2545020719_7f94431e40.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Sausage, Spinach, Mushroom, Onion, Garlic saute\" \/><\/a><br \/>Topped with fresh parmesan, it made for a lovely, rustic dish, replete with fresh garden goodness.<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/plazajen\/2545021489\/\" title=\"Giant Dish of Pasta by plazajen, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3174\/2545021489_03933ae1b7.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Giant Dish of Pasta\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Then, last night, I tried another recipe, involving spinach and ricotta and sauteed onions &#038; garlic &#8211; and it completely sucked!
