Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the sausage and cook until it just starts to brown, about 2 minutes, then add the squash and finishing cooking until the sausage is no longer pink, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

3
Add the tomatoes and the broth, gently breaking up the tomatoes with a wooden spoon, and season with salt and pepper. And the pasta and adjust the heat to maintain strong, active bubbles and cook until the pasta is just tender, 7-9 minutes. Add the sausage, squash and stir in the spinach and cook until the pasta is al dente, another 3 minutes more. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
