ITALIAN SAUSAGE PASTA WITH CAJUN CREAM SAUCE AND SPINACH



Italian Sausage Pasta with Cajun Cream Sauce and spinach image

They're the classic odd couple: one's messy, one's neat, one's a left-brained math nerd, the other's a right brain creative type, one is meaty and flavorful, the other fresh and healthy. We're talking the Felix and Oscar of sausage and spinach, with a supporting cast of creamy sauce that adds just the perfect rich comic relief. They may not seem a natural couple, but after you've cleaned your plate, you'll agree sausage and spinach are the perfect couple. Tip: If you're looking for the right texture for the sauce, dip a spoon in and see how well it sticks to the back. If it coats, you're good to go.
