Creamy Tuscan Sausage Pasta

Ingredients:

  • Kosher salt
  • 1 pound linguine
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound Italian chicken sausage (sliced on the bias)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 cups tomatoes (diced)
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup Parmesan (freshly grated, plus more for serving)
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • Basil (fresh torn, for garnish)

Directions

In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add sausage and cook until seared on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Stir in tomatoes, cream and Parmesan then season with salt and pepper. Bring mixture to a low boil then reduce heat to medium and cook until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes.

Add the cooked pasta and spinach and toss until pasta is fully coated in sauce and the spinach has melted.

Garnish with basil and serve immediately with more Parmesan.
