Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 8 ounces spinach
- 1 1/4 cups cooked crumbled Italian sausage *see post for using sausage links
- 5.3-ounce box of Garlic & Fine Herb Boursin cheese
- 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Chupacabra Italian Seasoning
- 8 ounces Gigli pasta (or any pasta with ridges and holes) plus reserve 1 – 1 1/4 cups reserved pasta water
- Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Add the spinach and tomatoes to a large baking dish. In the middle of the veggies, add the Boursin cheese. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with Chupacabra Italian Seasoning. Bake for 20 minutes.
- While the veggies are baking in the oven, boil the pasta according to the package instructions and save about 1 1/4 cups of the pasta water. This will help make the sauce creamy.
- Remove the pan from the oven and, using the back of a fork, gently mash the tomatoes and cheese together with the spinach.
- Add in the cooked, crumbled sausage, give it a stir, then add in the cooked pasta, about 1 cup of pasta water.
- Stir until combined, adding more water if needed. Grate on fresh Parmesan cheese, stir in, and taste for seasoning.
