Cheesy Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta with Sausage and Spinach

whole wheat penne pasta

extra-virgin olive oil

precooked chicken sausage links (I used Trader Joe’s roasted garlic flavor), cut into bite-sized pieces

reduced-sodium white beans, rinsed and drained (I used Great Northern; cannellini or white kidney would work as well)

 tomatoes in olive oil, drained and chopped

garlic, minced

kosher salt

black pepper

red pepper flakes

mixed tender greens (I used half arugula, half baby spinach)

freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Chopped fresh herbs, for serving (parsley, basil, green onions, or anything you like or have on hand)
