Instructions:
Add ghee to pan and warm
Add onions with salt and pepper and sauté a few minutes
Add sausage and cook through (5-6 minutes)
Add the jar of pasta sauce along with spinach and cilantro and cook until spinach is wilted (2-3 minutes)
In a separate pot bring water to boil with salt
Cook pasta according to package (cook pasta al dente about 3 minutes less than what box says)
Reserve one cup of the pasta water and drain the rest of the water
Add the sausage mixture to the pot with the drained pasta, add a bit of the pasta water until the sauce is glossy (I did 1/2 cup)
Pour into a 9x13 baking dish and sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top
Bake 350 F for 30 minutes and broil a couple minutes to get the cheese nice and crispy
