  • 1 tbsp.extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 lb. Circle B Ranch Sweet Italian sausage, sliced on the bias (you can also use bulk sweet Italian sausage)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 onion diced
  • 2 c. diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 c.heavy cream
  • 1/2 c.freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 c. baby spinach
  • Fresh torn basil, for garnish

Directions

  1. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add the onion and cook until translucent. Add sausage and cook until done. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, cream and Parmesan then season with salt and pepper. Bring mixture to a low boil then reduce heat to medium and cook until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes.
