Sausage Meat and Spinach Pasta

Recipes »  Main Dish  »  Pasta

Great recipe. Spicy or not to your liking. Translated from french by myself

"This was awesome. Made it with bow-tie pasta and cicken broth (they call it bouillon), but you want broth. I also let it sit till room temperature, this allowed the flavors to blend and the pasta to soak up the broth. Lastly I used Trader Joes italian sausage which is awesome, sweet or hot is great. Love this recipe!"

The only change I made was to use gluten free pasta. The recipe was wonderful and you can make it so many different ways. Thank you

Used chicken broth and added mushrooms. So good! Husband loved it and had seconds. Will make again...maybe with turkey sausage.

Excellent recipe that is fresh and filled with tender flavors. Even my picky daughter ate it.

I added sun-dried tomatoes an mushrooms. I would have liked to have added two bushels of spinach (or one whole bag) but didn't have enough! This is a pretty good recipe but next time i'd like to substitute something more clean like tofu or chicken was of sausage

This was a very tasty dish. I added garlic to sauté with the onion.

I just made this because I was really hungry and it seemed really quick to make. Sadly, I didn't have all the right ingredients so I substituted what I could. I used hot dogs instead of Italian Sausage (it's 1AM and no stores are open) and meat granules instead of the chicken bouillon. Honestly, I probably would've been better off not using the meat granule but the pasta did turn out pretty good in the end anyways. I love the idea of being able to add and change a few things since this recipe was so simple. I give this 4 stars for my own mistake of using meat granules. If I try to make this again, I'll make sure to have chicken bouillon so that it's a 5 star. :] Love the easy and quick recipe.

I love fresh spinach and great simple recipes -- this dish combines both! I've made this several times now and have used both sweet and hot Italian sausage; penne, rigatoni and gemelli pastas; Parmigiano Reggiano, Pecorino Romano and aged Asiago cheeses. I've stuck to the recipe as stated and it's turned out wonderfully. It's also a very versatile recipe that can easily adapted to your families taste. I've added thinly sliced sauteed garlic and sliced sauteed mushrooms. For a light creamy sauce, I've added about 1/2 cup warmed cream (or half-and-half) along with the cheese. Other good additions might include: asparagus, artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes (oil removed and chopped), or red grape tomatoes. I think arugula would make a good alternative for the spinach.
