Preparation Steps

• Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
• In a large skillet, cook Italian sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
• Add chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in minced garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
• Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Let it reduce slightly for about 5 minutes.
• Stir in heavy cream and bring back to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
• Add fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in cooked pasta and grated Parmesan cheese. Toss to combine and coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
• Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
• Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
