Skillet Penne with Sausage and Spinach Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by mytastytreasures

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound Italian-style turkey sausage, casings removed I used a combo of hot and sweet Italian sausage
3 medium garlic cloves, minced finely
2 1/4 cups water
2 1/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, rinsed and chopped fine
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 ounces (about 2 1/2 cups) penne pasta
1 (6 ounce) bag baby spinach, I used 10 ounces
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot and add in the sausage. Cook until lightly browned and no longer pink about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the water, broth, sun-dried tomatoes, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, then add in the pasta. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook at a strong simmer, stirring often, until the pasta is tender and the liquid has thickened, about 15-18 minutes Stir in the spinach, a handful at at time, and cook until wilted. Off the heat, stir in the cheese and pine nuts. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of spinach. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The spinach added a nice pop of color and flavor to the dish.

I'm not a big fan of sausage, so I used ground beef instead. It turned out just as delicious. I also added some mushrooms and zucchini to the skillet, which made it even more hearty and flavorful.
