Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 12 ounces pasta (penne or fettuccine work well)
  • Fresh basil, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  • Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks.
  • Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Add the Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and spinach. Cook until the spinach is wilted and the sauce has thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the sauce.
  • Garnish with fresh basil if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of chicken broth to achieve your preferred sauce consistency.
  • For a spicier version, use hot Italian sausage.
  • This dish can be made ahead and reheated, but add a splash of cream or broth when reheating to maintain the sauce's consistency.
