We all have busy days. Some days it never stops. Quickly getting kids off to school, and then either going to work yourself, or busy running errands or just getting things done around the house, and not to mention running those kids to their various sports practices.
I have a few go-to recipes for these hectic days. It only takes about 25 minutes, it is very tasty, and fills you up. So you can do the rest of things on your to do list, that is never ending.
The recipe is versatile, in the fact that you can use any pasta that you have on hand. Gnocchi is the best for the recipe, but tortellini, farfalle or penne work well also. And I usually use hot sausage, because that is what we like, but feel free to use whatever you have on hand. There are a lot of flavored sausages out there and I am sure they would add a different twist to the recipe.
1 pound pasta
1 TBSP olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 pound sausage , casing removed
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 5oz bag baby spinach
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
3/4 cup grated Parmesan , plus more for garnish
Cook the pasta according to the package directions, reserving 1/4 cup of the pasta water. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium het. Add the onion and cook until translucent , about 5 minutes. Add the sausage and cook, crumbling it with a spoon as it cooks. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic, spinach, salt, and pepper and cook while stirring, until the spinach wilts, about 3 minutes. Add the drained pasta, the reserved pasta water and the Parmesan cheese. Toss thoroughly. Serve with additional grated cheese.
