ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND SPINACH ALFREDO



ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND SPINACH ALFREDO image

Categories     Pasta     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Dinner     Sausage

Yield 6 servings 1¼ cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pkg. Jimmy Dean® Premium Pork Regular
1 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
½ cup dry white wine or chicken broth
½ pound fettuccine, cooked, drained
2 cups whipping cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 bag (6 ounces) baby spinach leaves (about 8 cups)
Cracked black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Cook sausage, onion, and garlic in stockpot over MEDIUM-HIGH heat 8-10 minutes or until sausage is thoroughly cooked, stirring frequently; drain. Return sausage mixture to pan. Stir in wine. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to MEDIUM; cook 4-5 minutes or until most of the wine is cooked off. Add pasta, cream and cheese; bring just to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook and stir 4-5 minutes or until cheese is melted and sauce is thickened. Remove from heat. Stir in spinach; cover. Let stand 3 minutes. Season with pepper.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the alfredo sauce will be. Use fresh spinach, high-quality sausage, and a good quality Alfredo sauce.
  • Cook the sausage thoroughly: Make sure the sausage is cooked all the way through before adding it to the sauce. This will help to prevent the sauce from becoming greasy.
  • Drain the sausage: After cooking the sausage, drain it on paper towels to remove excess grease.
  • Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach is best for this recipe. If you are using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw it and squeeze out any excess water before adding it to the sauce.
  • Don't overcook the spinach: Spinach cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Add it to the sauce at the end of the cooking time and stir until it is just wilted.
  • Serve immediately: Alfredo sauce is best served immediately after it is made. If you need to store it, let it cool completely and then store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This sausage and spinach alfredo is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
