Garlic Pasta with Sausage and Spinach

1 box Pasta I like Rotina or Penne
1 Bag Sun Dried tomatoes
1 lb sausage sweet italian or spicy
1/4 Cup olive oil
1/4 cup parmasean cheese
1 box frozen spinach
2 Tbls garlic powder
1 Tbls salt

Cook sausage how ever you desire, I bake mine 375 for 30 minutes
Cook pasta according to directions
cook spinach according to directions
In bowl add pasta, olive oil, parmasean cheese, spinach, sausage cut in slices, garlic powder, salt and sundried tomatoes and toss together.

I like do everything in seperate bowls for example:
In one bowl I will add a cup of pasta, drizzle with olive oil, add 7-8 slices of sausgae, a spoonful of spinach, a bunch of sundried tomatoes, and a couple shakes of paramsean cheese, salt, and garlic powder. This also allows left overs to still be tasty.
