Ingredients

• 1 lb italian sausage
• 8 oz short pasta
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 5 oz baby spinach
• 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes
• 1 small yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Cooking instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it into small pieces, until browned and the center reaches 160°F on an instant-read thermometer, about 6 to 8 minutes. (about 8 min) — Medium-high heat; sausage 160°F
2. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and Italian seasoning and cook for 30 seconds. (about 4 min) — Medium heat
3. Pour in the broth and cream. Stir in the pasta, salt, and pepper, then bring to a gentle boil. (about 3 min) — Medium-high heat
4. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered, stirring often, until the pasta is tender and the sauce thickens, about 10 to 12 minutes. (about 12 min) — Medium-low heat
5. Stir in the spinach and sun-dried tomatoes and cook until the spinach wilts, about 2 minutes. (about 2 min) — Medium-low heat
6. Remove from the heat and stir in the Parmesan until smooth. Let the pasta stand for 2 minutes before serving. (about 2 min) — Off heat
