The heat of the cooked spaghetti wilts the mixed greens in this lemony warm pasta salad. Dry Monterey Jack is an aged Jack cheese similar to Parmesan.

Preparation
Step 1
Whisk oil, lemon juice and garlic in small bowl to blend. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper.

Cook sausages in heavy medium skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, turning frequently, about 20 minutes. Using tongs, transfer sausages to paper towels and drain; cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Combine sausage rounds and greens in large bowl.
Step 3
Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain well.
Step 4
Add hot pasta to bowl with sausage rounds and greens; toss until greens begin to wilt. Mix in enough dressing to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide pasta among bowls. Top with cheese and serve.
