Chicken Sausage & Oven Roasted Veggies

I love the Apple Chicken Sausage that you can get in a 4 pack at Sams club!  They are soooo dang good.  And I'm always trying to find some kind of stir fry to put them in and usually fail on texture or consistency or something but still loving the sausage.  But this one worked and I Loved it!  Enjoy!  And you can enjoy it with or without the pasta!  But Obviously NO PASTA FOR PALEO!!!
Cut your sausage  in bite size pieces, and put in a skillet with olive oil and let cook until it starts to brown.  Then add in that yummy chopped spinach to wilt that last couple minutes.

 Roasting the veggies in the oven give them such a better flavor than just sauteing on the stove top!
 Put it all together and top it with Parmesan Cheese.
1 package (4-5) links of Apple Chicken Sausage
1/2 Zucchini - sliced then quartered (not pictured)
1/2 red pepper - chopped
1/2 green pepper - chopped
4 whole mushrooms - sliced
1/4 Cup yellow onion - chopped
1 1/2 Cup - chopped broccoli
1/2 Cup Chopped Spinach leaves
3 tblsp - Olive oil - (seperated)
1/4 tsp garlic powder
salt & Pepper to taste
Any kind of Pasta - optional

Preheat your oven to 400*.  Place your, zucchini, peppers, mushrooms, onion & broccoli in a shallow baking pan.  Drizzle about 1- 2 tblsp of olive oil, your garlic, salt and pepper on your veggies then toss to coat.  Bake for 20 minutes, stirring once at the mid way point.
While you are roasting your veggies, slice your sausage in a diagonal, and place in a skillet pan with 1 tblsp of oil.  Stir and Cook until it browns a bit.  Then chop up your Spinach and add to skillet to wilt.  Putting a lid on it helps the process along.
Cook your pasta according to directions, reserving 1/2 cup of liquid when you drain the pasta.
Once veggies are roasted, sausage and spinach are cooked, and pasta is done, combine in one skillet adding the reserved liquid from pasta a little at a time to how you want it.  Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and walah!
