Sausage and Spinach Shells

Looking for a quick dinner that is easy and fresh? Look no further than this hearty pasta dish! It has spinach hidden with sausage that your kids will actually eat! This was so easy to throw together and allow to cook in the oven. I made side salads for my husband and I as well.

We are super busy decluttering and getting our house ready to be photographed to be put on the market to sell. Making easy dishes like this one has been a saving grace. It has been utter chaos here and we even had to rent a storage unit to make our house look bigger in each room by not having all the surfaces and closets filled. What a task! *Fingers crossed* our house sells fast!
