This Creamy Tuscan Sausage Pasta is a rich and flavorful dish packed with Italian sausage, sun-dried tomatoes, and spinach, all coated in a luscious creamy sauce. It’s quick and easy to make, perfect for a cozy family dinner or a meal to impress guests!
Let's start by getting a pot of water boiling. Once it's bubbling away, toss in your cavatappi pasta and let it cook until it's just al dente – you want it with a little bite!
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add your crumbled Italian sausage and let it cook until it's beautifully golden and caramelized.
Add in some minced garlic and onion. Once they're nice and fragrant, toss in your chopped sun-dried tomatoes and give everything a good stir.
Time to make it creamy! Pour in your heavy cream and chicken broth, then add a nice dollop of cream cheese for that luxurious texture.
Let it all simmer and bubble away until it's beautifully thickened and creamy.
When your pasta's ready, drain it well and toss it straight into the sauce along with your chopped spinach. Give it all a good mix until everything's nicely coated.
Finish it off with a generous sprinkling of grated Parmesan cheese, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve it up hot and fresh, and get ready to tuck into a bowl of comfort and flavor that'll transport you straight to Tuscany!
