Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lb. Italian sausage
- 4 oz. Prosciutto (chopped)
- ½ onion (diced)
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 5 oz. fresh baby spinach (about 2 cups)
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup white wine
- 14.5 oz. fire-roasted tomatoes (1 can)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ⅓ cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 10 oz rigatoni pasta
- 2 tablespoon Parsley (chopped)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet (cast iron or stainless steel). Brown the Italian sausage first, then add Prosciutto towards the end of browning the sausage (about 3-4 minutes). Once cooked, remove both to a paper towel-lined plate, set aside.
- Add the onion, saute until translucent. Next add the garlic and saute another minute, until fragrant. Now add spinach and cook until wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour in the wine and cook the alcohol off slightly, about 2 minutes. Now add fire-roasted tomatoes. Lower the heat, stir in the heavy cream.
- Add the Parmesan cheese and simmer just a bit, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Next add cooked Prosciutto and Italian sausage. Simmer a bit again, to heat them up.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt the water. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions.
- Drain the pasta and add it into the pan. Stir well to coat. Add chopped parsley.
- Serve with extra Parmesan on top.
