Pasta Wheels With Sausage and Tomatoes

Submitted by OneEye

"This is a popular recipe with my family and can be made with any kind of pasta. It reheats well but may need some additional liquid the second night. I added the spinach to the recipe recently to try and sneak a bit more vegetables into my diet."
