Italian Sausage Spinach And Ricotta Toasts

• 8 ounces bulk sweet Italian sausage links, smashed up
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 (10 ounce) package frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry or 1 1/2 cups fresh spinach
• 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 dash freshly grated nutmeg
• fresh ground black pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
• 8 slices Italian bread, toasted

1. Brown sausage, stirring often, in a large skillet over medium heat until browned; add garlic and spinach and continue to cook, stirring, until spinach wilts, about 1-2 minutes; remove from heat and stir in the ricotta cheese, nutmeg and pepper.
2. Preheat your broiler; place toast slices on a sheet or pan that can go under the broiler.
3. Spread the sausage-cheese mixture on each slice of toast and sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese.
4. Place on pan and broil for 3-4 minutes, or till the cheese is browned and the topping is kind of bubbly; you may need to do this in two batches.
5. Serve them hot!
