Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat until hot.
Cook sausages for 3 minutes each side or until cooked through.
Remove from pan.
Slice.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in pan. Add garlic and tomatoes.
Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until tomatoes are just tender.
Place remaining oil, pasta, sausage, beans, spinach and basil in a large bowl.
Add tomato mixture and toss gently to combine.
