Spicy Italian Sausage, Goat's Cheese and Arugula/Spinach Pasta

I have a problem. Pasta is my absolute favourite thing. I need to eat less of it, but it's SO good and you can do SO many things with it.

Dinner turned out really good tonight. I really had no clue what I was doing/putting into the pasta until it was already in the pan! I knew I wanted to use some of the arugula/spinach mixture I had in the fridge, and I've recently become a big fan of fresh greens on top of pasta. I also knew I wanted to use goat's cheese, but that's as far as I'd come. I checked the freezer for the meat situation and the only thing worth putting in a pasta I had was some sausage.

I cut up and fried the sausage, tossed in some mushrooms, red peppers and garlic. A little dried red pepper flakes, thyme and basil was added. There were little bits of sausage stuck to the bottom of the pan so I tossed in some Sherry (sweet wine) to get the little yummy bits. I put in 1/4 of a small package of goats cheese and mixed it up. I also added a little bit of cream to make some more sauce. When the pasta was done I added it directly to the sauce pot and mixed it around. In my dinner bowl, I put a little more goat's cheese and a handful of spinach/arugula mix. Yummy!

The mild spice of the sausage mixed with the sweetness of the sherry and paired with the bitterness of the goat's cheese and arugula/spinach was delectable!
