Ingredients
- 12 ounces rotini pasta
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pound Italian sausage mild, ground
- 1 small yellow onion finely chopped (about ½ cup
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes soaked in hot water, drained, chopped, about 4 whole
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream 357 g
- 2 cups spinach fresh, 60 g
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese finely grated, 100 g
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the rotini pasta al dente, according to package directions. Reserve one cup of pasta water, then drain the rest. Set the drained pasta and pasta water aside.
- To a large skillet over medium heat, add oil. Once hot, add the Italian sausage and onions. Cook until the ground sausage is browned, breaking it up as you go (8-10 minutes).
- Add the garlic and sundried tomatoes. Cook for 1 minute.
- Add tomato paste, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Pour in the heavy whipping cream. Stir until well combined.
- Add the fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring just until it wilts, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the drained rotini. Stir to coat the pasta in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency. (I used ½ cup pasta water.)
- Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the grated parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
- Serve warm.
