Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 lb Italian sausage mild or spicy, as preferred
12 oz rigatoni pasta or any preferred pasta
3 cups baby spinach

For the Sauce

1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes drained and chopped

Instructions

Brown the Italian sausage in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onions halfway through. Cook until sausage is thoroughly browned.
Cook the rigatoni pasta in a separate pot according to package instructions to al dente. Drain well.
Use chicken broth to deglaze the skillet, then add heavy whipping cream and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer until the sauce is reduced by half.
Stir in Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and baby spinach into the skillet. Once the cheese melts and the spinach wilts, add the cooked sausage and pasta.
Ensure everything is well combined and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook briefly until heated through.
Serve hot, optionally garnished with extra Parmesan or fresh herbs.

Notes

Consider adding a splash of cream while reheating to maintain the creamy texture.
