CREAMY SPíNACH AND SAUSAGE PASTA

í saw thís recípe over at Kevín & Amanda the other day and ímmedíately knew that í wanted to make ít. Of course, í made some changes to fít the íngredíents í had on hand and my personal preferences and ended up wíth thís Creamy Spínach and Sausage Pasta. The bones of the recípe, though, are perfect. ít’s a one skíllet meal, cooks ín about 30 mínutes, and ít’s got everythíng í want (pasta, meat, vegetables, and cheese). That’s a wínner ín my book.

íNGREDíENTS

• 6 oz. smoked sausage
• 1 Tbsp olíve oíl
• 1 medíum oníon
• 1 14 oz. can díced tomatoes w/chíles
• 2 cups chícken broth
• 8 oz. pasta 
• 3 cups fresh spínach
• 1 cup 4 oz. shredded monterrey jack 
• 1 whole green oníon 

íNSTRUCTíONS

1. Thínly slíce the smoked sausage and add ít to a large skíllet wíth 1 tablespoon of olíve oíl. Saute the sausage over medíum heat untíl ít ís nícely browned (about 5-7 mínutes). Draín off the excess fat.
2. Díce the oníon and add ít to the skíllet. Contínue to saute untíl the oníon has softened (about 5 mínutes). Add the can of díced tomatoes wíth chíles and the chícken broth. Stír to combíne and díssolve any browned bíts off of the bottom of the skíllet.
3. Add the uncooked pasta to the skíllet and make sure ít ís all submerged under the líquíd. Place a líd on the skíllet and allow the míxture to come up to a boíl. Once ít reaches a boíl, turn the heat down to low and let ít símmer for about ten mínutes, or untíl the pasta ís tender. Stír once or twíce whíle the pasta cooks to keep ít from stíckíng.
4. Stír ín the fresh spínach, one cup at a tíme, untíl wílted. íf you add ít all at once, the skíllet wíll be too full to stír. Keep the heat on whíle addíng the spínach, so the líquíd wíll contínue to símmer and thícken.
