Easy Sausage Pasta Recipe for a Quick Weeknight Dinner

Ingredients

• 0.75 pound uncooked pasta
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 pound spicy Italian sausage
• 1 onion, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Gather all of the necessary ingredients for the sausage pasta recipe.
2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add your preferred pasta and cook until al dente, typically 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the pasta thoroughly and set it aside.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Italian sausage to the hot skillet and cook, breaking it apart and stirring occasionally, until it is no longer pink, approximately 5 minutes. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet; cook and stir for an additional 2 minutes until softened. Stir in the chicken broth, diced tomatoes, and fresh basil.
4. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the liquid has reduced slightly, about 5 minutes. Add the chopped spinach; cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the spinach is tender and wilted.
5. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sausage and vegetable mixture. Mix well until everything is thoroughly combined. Sprinkle generously with grated Parmesan cheese and serve immediately while warm.
