The only instructions I would change is to make the sauce before I put in the pasta and spinach. Also, I would completely cook the pasta and just add to heat thru.

Honestly I feel like you'd get a similar taste if you put cooked angel hair pasta, sausage, and creamed spinach together. The dish was thick, and I wasn't overly happy with the flavor. I honestly don't know how everyone else did the spinach. 10 oz of spinach was so much, I only wound up using half of it (and in the end it did look like the picture above). It just doesn't have a very fresh taste at all. I highly doubt we'd be making this again. 3 stars because I can see how others might like it, it just wasn't for us.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":3,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2017-02-26","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"browns19fan"},"reviewBody":"My husband thinks this is a 5-star recipe. I rate it a 3, hence the four stars. It's OK, perfectly edible but nothing special.I decided to follow another cook's suggestion and cook the pasta first, adding it at the end with the spinach. (Since we both love spinach, I thought its amount was just right.). But I hadn't counted on how much liquid pasta absorbs as it boils. I used the full amount of broth, and since the pasta had already cooked, the sauce was much too watery. I will be making this again by popular demand, but next time I'll use half the amount of broth and see what happens.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2017-06-22","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"ssapienza"},"reviewBody":"This is a delicious one-pot meal.
