Pork Sausage Farfalle

Ingredients

• 1 lb pork sausage
• 1/4 cup chopped white onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 (14.5 oz) can crushed tomatoes
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 cups farfalle
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

1. Finely chop the onion and garlic.
2. Brown the pork sausage and drain. Set aside the sausage.
3. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Once the water has come to a boil, add the pasta. Cook for 7-8 minutes, until al dente. Then drain the pasta and set aside.
4. As soon as you put the water on to boil, start to prepare the rest of this dish. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add the onions and saute. After 2 minutes, add the sausage and red pepper flakes. For a mild spice add 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, or add more for extra spice.
5. Add the sausage, garlic, crushed tomatoes, and cream. Stir together. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
6. Add the drained pasta to the sauce, along with the spinach (tear it up as you add it in). Let the pasta and spinach simmer in the sauce for 2 minutes over medium heat. Serve with a sprinkle of Parmesan.
