Remove outer casings from sausage, and cut into small pieces about
an inch long.

Place olive oil in a non-stick skillet and saute sausage until
brown.  Add onions, garlic, peppers, herbs, red wine, salt and

Meanwhile, cook pasta.

Add 1 cup of the pasta water, stir and add the fresh spinach leaves
