Sausage, Spinach & Pearled Couscous

Ever since I signed up for this pilates class, I've had less time make dinner on Tuesday & Wednesday nights. I get home after my class around 6:40 and Dave arrives home five minutes later---usually starving.  In my effort to come up with super-fast and tasty recipes, I've discovered a good little collection of dinners which typically have no more than 5 ingredients.  So---get excited---I'm starting a new blog category of 5-ingredient dinner recipes :)  Yes, I know, big news.

But seriously, those brothers of mine who have to make dinner themselves these days (ahem, logan & julian) might find these useful.

Here's the recipe for our scrumptious dinner from last night.

5 Ingredients:
whole-wheat pearled couscous
2 links of cooked chicken sausage (i like the sun-dried tomato kind, pictured above)

1 bag of baby spinach
1 garlic clove, minced
olive oil

Directions:
1. Cook 1 cup of whole wheat couscous according to the directions.
2. Slice the chicken sausage & saute the slices briefly in olive oil until they are lightly browned.  Remove the slices from the pan.
3. Saute minced garlic in remaining oil for 30 seconds.  Toss spinach in pan and stir constantly until slightly wilted.
4. Add couscous and sausage into pan with spinach mixture.  Stir to combine.  Serve immediately!
