When I was a new bride I was not a great cook. I had to learn from many trials and errors until I got the rhythm of the kitchen. This was one of my first recipes that I perfected. Though it is simple, the flavor and taste won’t let you down!
Admittedly, I am not a huge pasta fan. However, my husband loves pasta. So naturally, I incorporate pasta dishes from time to time. This one always makes me happy and I enjoy eating it with my family. Let’s make dinner together! Here are the steps to do it.
Tools Used
- Frying pan – we love this set but they are an investment – they are non-toxic, non-stick, and dishwasher safe. They are a made with stainless steel and ceramic.
- Large Pot – same brand as above.
Sausage Pasta Ingredients
- 12 oz fusilli (we use jovial, you can substitute penne too)
- ½ Tbsp olive oil
- 1.5 lb ground sausage (can substitute Italian sausage cut into oblong ovals)
- 1 small onion (yellow or white diced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2.5 cups heavy cream
- 4.5-5 oz spinach (about 5 handfuls)
- 1 cup parmesan cheese (shredded)
How To Make Sausage Pasta
- Prepare the veggies by dicing the onion and mincing the garlic.
- Start by boiling water in a pot and adding a pinch of salt and some olive oil into the water. Then follow the instructions on your package for the 12 oz fusilli.
- In a large frying pan, bring the ½ Tbsp olive oil to a to medium heat.
- Cook the 1.5 lb ground sausage, 1 small onion, and 3 cloves garlic until the sausage is cooked thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper.
- Drain the fat.
- Next add 2.5 cups heavy cream. Stirring with a wooden spoon, be sure to scrape any brown bits stuck to the bottom of the pan to incorporate into the sauce.
- Once the cream has thickened, add 4.5-5 oz spinach, one handful at a time.
- Once all the spinach has wilted, stir in the 1 cup parmesan cheese.
- Stir until cheese melts.
- Pour sausage mix over the pasta and mix well.
Tips
- If you have left overs, you can keep in the fridge for 3 days.
- This doesn’t freeze well.
- If you don’t have olive oil, you can substitute with bacon grease or lard.
- If reheating in the oven, cover so that the top layer doesn’t dry out.
Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
