I’ve been making some version of this pasta for well over 10 years now, and we never get tired of it! It’s the perfect date night kind of recipe because it’s indulgent, yet still super easy to make. This means it’s also great for any kind of entertaining as well. (You’ll find a simple menu below above the recipe to make this for a dinner party.) This pasta dish is well suited to all kinds of pasta shapes. You’ll see both tagliatelle and penne here in the photos. It’s so versatile I can’t think of any type of pasta that doesn’t work here, so the sky is the limit! We make this the most often with penne and bowties, or with noodle shapes like tagliatelle or fettuccini. However no worries if you’re dairy free because you can make this with coconut cream from refrigerated cans of coconut milk. It’s not quite as rich, but it’s still really tasty. My Creamy Tuscan Chicken recipe is made with coconut cream, and it’s so good!
How to make this recipe step by step
I really hope you enjoy this Tuscan Sausage Pasta! If you do get a chance to make this recipe or have any questions, I’d love to hear from you in the comments. Step 5: Bring the cream to a boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Cook the pasta while the sauce simmers. When the sauce is lightly thickened, add the spinach to the pan and cook just until barely wilted. Step 6: Once the spinach is barely wilted, add the browned sausage back to the pan. Step 7: Finally add the freshly cooked pasta to the sauce and simmer for 1-2 minutes to help the sauce properly coat the pasta. During this time season to taste with sea salt and pepper. Add the parmesan and optional basil and serve right away.
