A Tasty Twist on Pasta Night: Tomato Spinach Sausage Pasta Recipe

Ingredients You'll Need:

• 8 ounces of your favorite pasta (penne, fusilli, farfalle, or spaghetti)

• 2 Italian Chicken sausages (mild or spicy, your choice)

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 small onion, finely chopped

• 2 cloves of garlic, minced

Tomato Spinach Sausage Pasta Recipe Ingredients

Let's Get Cooking:

1. Boil the Pasta: Start by cooking your pasta according to the package instructions. Remember, we want it al dente – that perfect balance of tender and slightly firm.

2. Cook the Sausages: While your pasta is doing its thing, heat up a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the sausage meat from its casing and add it to the pan. Break it into smaller pieces with a spatula and cook until it's browned and cooked through. This is where you can decide if you want mild or spicy sausages for that extra kick!

3. Sauté the Aromatics: Remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside. In the same skillet, add a drizzle of olive oil and throw in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté them until they're soft and fragrant.

4. Add the Tomato Magic: Now, pour in those crushed tomatoes and give them a good stir. Sprinkle in the dried oregano and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper to your taste. Let the tomato sauce simmer for about 10 minutes until it thickens up.

5. Bring It All Together: Add the cooked sausage back to the sauce, and toss in the fresh baby spinach. It'll wilt down and blend in with the sauce beautifully. Cook for a couple more minutes until the spinach is wilted and the sausage is heated through.

6. Mix in the Pasta: Drain your cooked pasta and add it right into the skillet with that glorious sauce. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated.

7. Serve and Garnish: Dish out your Tomato Spinach Sausage Pasta into plates and sprinkle with a generous amount of grated Parmesan cheese. Don't be shy; cheese makes everything better!
