Instructions
Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1/2 up pasta water when you drain.
While the pasta is cooking, heat a very large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the olive oil and cook the shallots, and sausage until the sausage is golden brown, about 3 minutes.
Add the apple, garlic, and red chili pepper flakes and season with salt and pepper.
Cook 5 minutes, or until apples are tender, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
Add the chicken broth, beans, and spinach, and cook about 1 minute, stirring, until spinach is wilted.
Add the pasta to the sausage/apple mixture.
Add the parmesan cheese and mix to combine, adding the reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
