    Ingredients
      

    • 14 oz smoked sausage sliced into pieces
    • ¾ cup onion chopped
    • 2 cloves garlic finely minced
    • 1 cup chicken broth
    • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
    • ½ cup heavy cream
    • 2 cups fresh spinach
    • ½ cup grated parmesan
    • 10 oz pasta
    • salt and pepper

    Instructions
     

    • In large skillet cook sausage until done and browned. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
    • In same skillet add onions and cook until translucent. If there is not enough fat from sausage add a bit of olive oil.
    • Add garlic and cook for additional 2 minutes.
    • Stir in chicken broth, scraping those delicious bits off bottom of pan.
    • Add tomatoes and heavy cream.
    • Add sausage into sauce and stir to combine.
    • Season with salt and pepper. (I didn't need to use any salt as sausage was salty enough)
    • Heat until sauce comes to boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 20 minutes.
    • Prepare pasta according to package instructions.
    • Once sauce has simmered for about 20 minutes stir in parmesan cheese.

        I think chorizo would taste great, some nice spicy flavour.

      My family loves this dish. When I made it, it didn't have an orange color like your picture. Did I do something wrong?

        Hi Cathy, the colouring could vary depending on the tomatoes, the sausage or even the photo and how it displays on your computer. As long as it tasted good that's all that really counts. (if I had to guess I would think different varieties of tomatoes would be most likely cause)

      This is incredibly delicious! I used ground sausage and Asiago cheese instead...also added my noodles right to the dish. Absolutely loved it and will certainly be making this again!

        Can I use whole milk instead of heavy cream? I don’t have any heavy cream

          Yes whole milk will work but you may have to thicken sauce a bit with a flour or cornstarch slurry.

      Easy and fairly fast. Flavors are dictated by the type of sausage used. I added a smidge of kick with red pepper flakes. Would simmer it longer for a thicker sauce. A bit too runny/ soupy. But easily adjustable.
      A nice option to have for sausage.
