{recipe: fusilli pasta w/chicken sausage & spinach in a garlic cream sauce}


{and that’s how you do it}


Here’s my original recipe…I hope you enjoy it. Let me know what you think.

Fusilli Pasta w/Chicken Sausage & Spinach in a Garlic Cream Sauce:
Servings: 4

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups dry fusilli pasta (I bought a bag from Trader Joe’s for $1 and some change)
  • 4 links Chicken sausage, sliced into 1/2 inch rounds (Also from Trader Joe’s—-I grabbed the Spinach and Fontina sausage but they have tons of other kinds that would also be just as yummy)
  • 3/4 cup Heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon Italian herbs
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic salt
  • 3/4 cup Fresh spinach leaves

How To:

Step 1: As always, pour yourself a glass of wine. Cooking is always much more fun with a little vino!

Step 2: Boil water, then add pasta.

Step 3: Cook pasta until al dente.

Step 4: Toss sausage rounds with a little olive oil in a pan and sear until slightly browned.

Step 5: While pasta is cooking, combine cream, butter, herbs, garlic, sausage, and garlic salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently and watch to make sure it does not boil over.

Step 6: When pasta has finished cooking, add to sauce along with the spinach leaves.

Step 7: Cook for about five minutes then serve with your favorite rustic bread.

See, super simple! Feel free to let me know if you have any questions!
