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.
