Chicken sausage and pasta.
1 clove garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb chicken sausage
1/2 onion chopped
1 can tomatoes with peppers (Chopped)
4 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup half&half
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 cup cooked and drained spinach
grated parmesan cheese to taste
1 lb pasta (I used rigatoni) cooked in boiling water (do not overcook, reserving 1 cup of pasta water) Drain and set aside. Add lid to keep warm.
Saute onion and garlic in olive oil, add sausage (removed from casing) and cooked until browned and crumbled.
Remove from pan and set aside.
Add the half& half to the pan to remove drippings, and the cream cheese until melted. Add the meat mixture, tomatoes, and spinach to the cheese mixture and mix well, add the reserved water and blend well. Top with the cheddar cheese until melted.
You can either blend the meat mixture with the pasta or serve over top.
Top with grated parmesan cheese to taste.
My family loves this recipe, you will too.
