Creamy Italian Sausage Pasta

1-pound Ground Italian Sausage

1-pound Penne Pasta

1 tablespoon Olive Oil

1/2 Yellow Onion Minced

2 cloves garlic, grated

1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes

2 cups heavy cream

5 ounces baby spinach

1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

 

Directions:

Cook the penne pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package directions. While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the Italian sausage along with the onion, garlic, and red pepper flakes, until the sausage is no longer pink. Drain excess fat from the skillet if necessary and return the meat mixture to the pan. Turn the heat to low and add the cream to the skillet, along with the spinach and cook, stirring for about 3 minutes until the spinach is wilted. Stir in the parmesan cheese until melted and then add the pasta into the sauce. Serve immediately.
