Ingredients

Scale

12 oz pasta (such as penne or fusilli)

1 lb Italian sausage, casings removed

1 tablespoon olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, thinly sliced

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

2 cups fresh baby spinach

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove sausage from skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for 1-2 minutes until garlic is fragrant.

Stir in chicken broth, heavy cream, and dried Italian seasoning. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce slightly thickens.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Add cooked sausage back into the skillet along with fresh baby spinach. Stir until spinach wilts.

Add cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the sauce.

Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined.

Remove from heat and let the pasta rest for a few minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.

Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
