Flavor filled turkey sausage, diced Italian tomatoes, spinach, and mushrooms all come together in a creamy sauce and make this dish really sing.  Luckily most of the hard work is done for you since the sausage packs in so much flavor on it's own.  Then a simple creamy sauce is built using cream cheese and Parmesan and in under 30 minutes you have a delicious, veggie packed, low carb pasta dish.
