⬇️ One-Pan Creamy Penne with Spinach and Italian Sausage 😋⬇️
This deliciously creamy penne pasta dish combines the richness of Italian sausage with fresh spinach, making it a perfect one-pan wonder for a quick and satisfying meal! 🍝🌿
Ingredients:
8 oz penne pasta
1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb Italian sausage, casings removed
3 cloves garlic, minced
5 cups fresh spinach
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions:
Begin by cooking the penne pasta according to the package directions until it’s al dente. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage, breaking it into smaller pieces, and cook until it’s browned, which will take about 5-7 minutes.
Next, add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until it becomes fragrant.
Incorporate the spinach, cooking until it wilts, roughly 2-3 minutes.
Pour in the heavy cream and mix thoroughly. Gradually add the Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until it becomes melted and creamy.
Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if you like a little kick.
Finally, toss the cooked penne into the skillet, ensuring the pasta is well-coated in the sauce.
Serve hot, and feel free to sprinkle extra Parmesan on top if you wish! 🍽️✨
