This is a recurring dish here at home. My kids love it and my husband and I love it as well. Moreover it is easy to make, quick and cheap.
When my kids ask me what will be lunch or dinner and discover that we're having pasta, they stay by me constantly lurking into the pans, waiting for it to be ready.

Fusilli
2 handfuls of spinach
1 can of sausages
3 halves of dried tomato
1 dessertspoon Maille mustard at L'Ancienne
oregano
1 fresh mozzarella cheese

cornichons
olive oil
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
salt and pepper to taste

Boil the pasta in plenty of water. Once cooked, drain and reserve a cup of the pasta cooking water.
In a skillet heat the oil and sauté the garlic. Add dried tomatoes cut into small pieces and spinach and allowed to wither. Add the sausages.
In a bowl mix the soy cream with the mustard, season with salt and pepper. Add the pasta to the spinach and sausage and mix well. Pour the mixture of soy cream and mix rapidly. If you need a little more sauce, add a little water of cooking the pasta. Remove from the heat, add the mozzarella cheese broken into pieces and sprinkle with oregano. Garnish with the sliced ​​cornichons.

This is one of my favorite foods. My mother made this dish many times when I was little, and, although not very fond of peas, I devoured everything. Just the smell brings me child memories, when my world was my mother, my father and my brother, that spent the day with no worries, playing with my pet rabbit and chicken. Those little friends followed me everywhere, and were my playmates. Now are my children who have this age, and are creating their own memories.
Here's then a food to warm the heart ... at least for me :)

Num tacho largo levar ao lume o azeite com a cebola e o alho picados finamente. Quando a cebola estiver translúcida, junta-se o frango lavado e partido em pedaços pequenos e deixa-se alourar ligeiramente.

Adiciona-se, então, a cenoura cortada às rodelas finas e o tomate descascado e partido em pedaços. Tempera-se com sal e pimenta e deixa-se cozinhar em lume brando com o tacho tapado.

Quando o frango estiver quase cozinhado, juntam-se as ervilhas e o esparguete. Adiciona-se um pouco de água (ou caldo de galinha) a ferver e mexe-se. Tapa-se e deixa-se cozinhar até o esparguete estar cozido.
