Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Ground Italian Sausage
  • 1 Cup Fresh Parmesan
  • 1 Cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes in oil with Italian Herbs
  • 1/4 Cup All Purpose Flour
  • 6-7 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 Cup Shredded Mozzarella
  • 1 Cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 Cup Chicken Broth
  • 10 oz Bag Fresh Spinach, roughly chopped
  • 16 oz Box Bowtie/Farfalle Pasta
  • 1-2 Cups Pasta Water

Instructions
 

  • To make this dish, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Once cooked, drain the pasta and set it aside.
  • While the pasta is cooking, heat some olive oil in a skille tover medium-high heat. Cook and crumble the Sausage with a pinch of red pepper flakes until it's nicely browned. Add onion and garlic to the skillet, cooking until the onion is tender.
  • Next, stir in the tomatoes and heavy cream. Allow the mixture to simmer and thicken for about 10 minutes. Then, add the spinach and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
  • Combine the cooked pasta with the sauce in the skillet. Sprinkle some parsley on top for extra flavor.
  • If you have any leftovers, they store well in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Before storing, let the dish cool to room temperature. When ready to eat again, reheat slowly in a pan over low or medium heat, adding a little milk to help keep it creamy.
  • You can substitute any Italian-flavored ground meat for those who like to experiment. If you can't find pre-flavoured beef, add some Italian seasoning while browning it.
  • To make a vegetarian version, skip the meat and start with sun-dried tomatoes. Add about two tablespoons of oil before adding flour to the sauce.
