Description

One-Pot Smoked Sausage Pasta is a quick and delicious meal perfect for busy weeknights or relaxed weekends. This dish combines smoky sausage with creamy pasta and fresh spinach for a comforting and family-friendly dinner.


Ingredients

Units Scale

Smoked Sausage

  • 1 lb sliced smoked sausage

Pasta

  • 8 oz uncooked penne or rotini

Onion

  • 1 chopped onion (yellow or red)

Garlic

  • 3 minced garlic cloves

Chicken Broth

  • 3 cups chicken broth

Heavy Cream

  • 1 cup heavy cream

Spinach

  • 2 cups fresh spinach

Parmesan Cheese

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Sautรฉ the Sausage

    Heat a large pot over medium heat and add sliced smoked sausage. Cook until browned, about 4-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to develop.

  2. Add Aromatics

    Stir in chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until soft and fragrant, which should take about 2-3 minutes.

  3. Incorporate Pasta

    Add your uncooked pasta to the pot, along with the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, covering the pot and letting everything cook until the pasta is al dente, approximately 10 minutes.

  4. Stir in Cream and Spinach

    Once the pasta is cooked, gently stir in the heavy cream and fresh spinach, allowing it to wilt into the dish, which adds a lovely color and flavor.

  5. Finish with Cheese

    Remove the pot from heat, and stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. This will complete your One-Pot Smoked Sausage Pasta perfectly.


Notes

  • Use quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Experiment with herbs like fresh basil or parsley.
  • Adjust consistency by adding more broth if needed.
  • Let it rest for a few minutes to enhance flavors.
