- Serves:

4-6
ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, minced
- salt
- 1 lb sweet Italian turkey sausage or 1 lb hot Italian turkey sausage, casings removed
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1⁄2 cup sun-dried tomato packed in oil, rinsed and chopped fine
- 8 ounces penne (about 2 1/2 cups, can also use ziti)
- 2 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1 (5 ounce) bag Baby Spinach
- 1 ounce parmesan cheese, grated or 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
- pepper, to taste
directions
- Heat olive oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. (Be sure to use at least a 12-inch size skillet to hold all ingredients.) Add the onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 4 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Sprinkle the sun-dried tomatoes and penne evenly over the sausage. Pour the broth and milk over the pasta. Cover and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the spinach a handful at a time and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. (It may seem like a lot of spinach, but it will wilt considerably.) Stir in the Parmesan and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Note: You can use Italian pork sausage, but you may have to spoon some of the fat off before adding the pasta.

I CANNOT believe I have not rated this recipe! I have made this countless times since I found it a few years ago! This is such a comfort food to me. First time I made it, it was for my sister and myself for our sister night (We used to have them once a month before the kiddies came along) and she absolutely loved it. I am working on my Christmas gifts right now (I am making a kitchen kit for all my friends including a recipe book with my favorite recipes) and this is being included. Thanks for sharing this delightful recipe.

We really enjoyed this dinner in the sauce was absolutely delicious. I didn't want to make a tomato sauce because I didn't want to deal with heartburn. I found this recipe and the great reviews and figured I would try it. the sun-dried tomatoes gave it a nice flavor. This is a definite keeper. Thanks for sharing the recipe .

This was rich and creamy yet so easy! We used hot Italian pork sausage and drained the fat before adding the garlic. The only other sub we made was using kale instead of spinach. We are definitely adding this to our regular line up and can't wait to try it with regular Italian sausage too. Thanks for sharing! *****Update - made it again with spinach and a 50/50 blend of hot and regular Italian sausage....still delish!
