Without further ado:
* Brown 1 lb chicken sausage in a dash of olive oil, breaking up into pieces until cooked through.
* Add 6 cups chicken stock + 1 can diced tomatoes (undrained) and bring to a boil.
* Once boiling, add 1/2 cup small pasta (I used this time but I use whatever I have) and reduce the heat to low.
* Cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until pasta is tender
* Stir in 4-6 cups of baby spinach and some fresh chopped basil (I was out so used dried)
* Top with a bit of parmesan cheese when ready to serve
