- 1/2 cup broken (1-inch) pieces capellini or vermicelli
- 4 slices crusty French or Italian bread, 1/2 inch thick
- 4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

1. Heat a large saucepan over high heat. Add sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 2 minutes. Add garlic; cook 30 seconds. Add spinach and broth. Fill one empty can of broth with water; add to pot. Cover and bring mixture to a boil. (If using escarole, add to pot and boil 3 minutes.) Add capellini, cover and boil 2 minutes more.
