PREPARATION

1
Cook the penne in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, then drain and reserve some pasta water.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and brown the ground turkey sausage until fully cooked.

Add minced garlic, oregano, sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the skillet and sauté for one minute until fragrant.

Toss in the fresh baby spinach and stir until the leaves are just wilted and bright green.

In a small bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt, milk, and parmesan cheese together until a smooth consistency forms.

Lower the heat and stir the cooked pasta and cheese sauce into the skillet, adding reserved water if needed to reach a creamy texture.
