This is one of my favorite pasta dishes that I have come up with. It's simple and delicious!
1 box of pasta
1 lb of italian sausage (remove from casings)
1 onion (I like sliced to match the pasta)
1 pkg of mushrooms, sliced
1-2 garlic cloves, minced
1 bag of baby spinach
olive oil
salt and pepper
pasta water
parmesan cheese
- Start the water boiling for the pasta, add salt and cook pasta according to box directions
- heat another pan to med high heat, drizzle with olive oil
- saute the onions for about 5-10 minutes
- add mushrooms and cook about 5 more minutes
- add spinach and garlic and cook until spinach starts to wilt
- add sausage, cook until sausage is no longer pink, turn to low and cover
- add the pasta when it is done cooking, add some pasta water to make a nice sauce
- serve and sprinkle with parmesan
I had a friend substitute with ground pork, and it is not the same. The sausage gives it all the flavor.
