Ingredients
  

  • 15 oz. Italian sausage
  • 1 lb. rigatoni (uncooked)
  • 2 c. chicken broth
  • 2 c. heavy cream
  • 8 cloves garlic (minced...I use the Dorot cubes from Trader Joes that make it so easy!)
  • 2 tsp. Italian seasoning
  • 30 oz. tomato sauce
  • 10 oz. fresh spinach

Instructions
 

  • Cook the sausage according to directions, and drain.
    cooked sausage
  • Add uncooked pasta, chicken broth, heavy cream, minced garlic, Italian seasoning and tomato sauce
    pasta and other ingredients added
  • Bring to a boil on medium heat. Cover and let simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until pasta is "al dente." Stir every now and again to keep it cooking evenly

  • Add fresh spinach and cook until it wilts and cooks in with the pasta.
  • Season with salt and pepper if desired, but the sausage adds so much flavor I didn't add any extra seasonings.

Notes

Serve with fresh french bread for a delicious side dish.
