1 Put large stock pot onto burner and heat to medium. Add chunks of sausage and cook til almost done. Add onion and cook 3 to 4 minutes more. Add chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Add dried pasta and cook 10 minutes. Add diced carrot and cook 5 minutes more. Throw in fresh spinach and remove from heat. Let sit a few minutes (covered) to cook the spinach.
