Creamy Garlic Parmesan Sausage and Fettuccine: A Delightful Comfort Meal

Ingredients

• 12 oz fettuccine pasta
• 1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy, casings removed)
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup spinach (fresh or baby)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1 Prise Salt
• 1 Prise Pepper
• 1 Prise Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
• 1 Prise Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the fettuccine according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. When hot, add the Italian sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
4. Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream, stirring well. Then, add the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Continue stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add some reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
5. Add the spinach to the sauce, cooking just until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Add the drained fettuccine to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta with the creamy sauce. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.
7. Plate the creamy garlic Parmesan sausage and fettuccine, garnishing with chopped parsley for freshness. Serve immediately and enjoy!
