This Spinach, Garlic, Sausage & Ricotta Pasta is a flavorful and comforting dish that comes together quickly. The combination of savory Italian sausage, garlicky spinach, creamy ricotta cheese, and Parmesan creates a deliciously rich sauce that coats every strand of pasta. It's perfect for a satisfying weeknight dinner or a cozy weekend meal.
Ingredients: 8 oz pasta of your choice. 1 lb Italian sausage, casings removed. 4 cups fresh spinach, chopped. 4 cloves garlic, minced. 1 cup ricotta cheese. 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. 2 tablespoons olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste. Red pepper flakes optional, for heat.
Instructions: Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add Italian sausage to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Add chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in cooked pasta, ricotta cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through. Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, if desired.
