Creamy Sausage, Mushroom & Spinach Roasted Red Pepper Pasta

Ingredients

1 lb Rigatoni pasta (or pasta of your choice)

1/2 cup Stock (chicken or vegetable)

8 oz Mushrooms

3 Italian sausage links, removed from casings

1/2 pack frozen spinach

1 cup Heavy cream

8 Fresh basil leaves

12 oz Jar roasted red peppers, liquid drained

1/2 tsp Salt

1/2 tsp Red pepper flakes

1/2 cup Grated parmesan cheese

1 cup Ricotta cheese

Directions

Sautée sausage meat until done.

Cook onion and mushrooms in sausage drippings. Just before done, add spinach to bring up to temperature.

In a high speed blender add heavy cream, stock, roasted red peppers, basil, salt and red pepper flakes. Blend until smooth.

Cook pasta until al dente (about 6 minutes). Remove from heat and drain.

In the same pot the pasta was cooked in, add your creamy roasted red pepper sauce and bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Add sausage, mushroom & spinach mix and bring to temp for 1-2 minutes.

Add the parmesan cheese and drained pasta and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and serve hot with a dollop of ricotta, topped with extra parmesan cheese, and fresh basil. Enjoy!
