Serves 4 to 6

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped fine
• salt
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 pound Country Corner Market Italian sausage
• half a cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, rinsed and chopped fine
• half a pound penne pasta
• 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 cup milk
• half a cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 6 ounces baby spinach
• ground black pepper

Method

1. Heat the oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and half a teaspoon salt, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, sausage, and tomatoes and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 4 minutes.

2. Sprinkle the penne evenly over the sausage. Pour the broth and milk over the pasta. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender, about 10 minutes.

3. Stir in the spinach a handful at a time, and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

* if you don’t have a lid for the skillet just cover with tin foil

Bon Appetit!
