Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1 cup baby spinach
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained and juice reserved
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1.5 teaspoons olive oil
• 3.5 ounces linguine pasta
• 0.5 pound Italian turkey sausage links

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Remove turkey links from their casings. Cook and stir turkey in the hot skillet, breaking it up into crumbles. Continue cooking until browned, about 7 minutes.

Step 3

Add drained tomatoes and garlic. Reduce heat and simmer until tomatoes are broken down, about 10 minutes. Mix in reserved tomato liquid, Parmesan cheese, and cream. Add spinach. Drain linguine, reserving 1/4 cup pasta water. Add pasta water to the sauce if needed. Cook and stir until spinach is wilted down, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Serve sauce on top of the drained linguine.
