Step-by-step

  • Heat the oil in a 12" nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and 1/2 tsp salt and cook until softened, about 5 mn.
  • Stir in the sausage and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 4 minutes.
  • Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Sprinkle the tomatoes and penne evenly over the sausage. Pour the broth and cream over the pasta. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the spinach a handful at a time and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan and season with the salt and pepper to taste.

As a busy housewife, I'm always looking for quick and easy one-dish meals that the whole family will love. This Skillet Penne and Sausage Supper fits the bill perfectly. It's got all the flavors we love in a pasta dish, but it's made in one pan so cleanup is a breeze.

I love that this dish is so versatile. You can use any type of sausage you like, and you can add any vegetables you have on hand. I often add chopped bell peppers, zucchini, or mushrooms. And if you don't have any heavy cream, you can substitute milk or even evaporated milk. This dish is also great for leftovers. Just reheat it in the microwave or on the stovetop, and it's ready to eat.

So if you're looking for a quick, easy, and delicious one-dish meal, this Skillet Penne and Sausage Supper is the perfect choice. Your family will love it, and you'll love how easy it is to make.
