Instructions
- Put the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sausage and garlic, and cook until the sausage is browned.
- While the sausage cooks, drain the jar of peppers. Use a blender or food processor to puree the red peppers.
- Add in the chicken broth, milk, puréed red pepper, pasta, salt and pepper and stir. If the pasta isn't fully covered, add 1/4 cup of milk and 1/4 cup of chicken broth to the pan.
- Bring to a boil, cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 12 minutes, or the amount specified on the pasta package directions.
- Once the pasta has cooked, add the spinach and stir until it's hot and wilted. Add cream cheese and Parmesan and stir to combine and melt everything.
Notes
- Pasta like penne, rigatoni, or fusilli wok well because they have nooks and crannies for all that saucy goodness to cling to.
- Add some red pepper flakes to make this dish extra spicy.
- Are you not a fan of spinach? For a peppery kick, you can easily substitute it with kale or arugula. Just add the heartier greens a bit earlier so they have time to soften.
