Spinach and sausage pasta

INGREDIENTS:

1 lb of Italian sausage (mild)

3 cloves of garlic/chopped

1 cup of white wine

1 medium onion /diced

Pecorino romano cheese 

Fresh or frozen spinach/ 2 cups fresh,1 cup frozen 

Evoo (good drizzle on the pan to sauté onions and garlic) 

Salt (pinch for pasta water & pinch for onions)

Pepper (1/2 tsp fresh cracked) 

1 1/2 cups heavy cream

1 cup reserved pasta water

1 package of pasta (I love organic, rigatoni or your favorite shape!)

  • 1. In a large saute pan, drizzle evoo on medium heat 

  • 2.Add onion and garlic, stirring so the garlic doesn’t burn. Sprinkle on a little salt and pepper (can always add more at the end if you need it) 
  • 3. Once the onion is translucent, you can add the sausage. Remove from casing and break up.
  • 4. Cook the sausage until it’s browned, breaking it up with your spoon so the Pieces aren’t big. 

    • 5.Add the white wine, stir. Reduce heat to low. 
  • 6.Boil your pasta water. Once it’s boiling add a pinch of salt, then your pasta.

  • 7.Add your spinach to the sausage and onions, stirring until wilted.

  • 8.Once pasta is cooked, remove pasta water and add to pan with sausage. 

  • 9. Add in your heavy cream and stir.

  • 10.Drain pasta and add it to sausage/onions. Stir to coat the pasta! 
  • Grate a good amount of pecorino cheese on top and stir again. 
  • Serve with more cheese if you’d like! 

Enjoy!! Xoxo
