Creamy Sausage Rigatoni
Ingredients:
- 1 TBS olive oil
- 16 oz ground sweet Italian chicken sausage – I buy at Sprouts (can also use pork if desired)
- 8 oz rigatoni uncooked
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 15 oz can diced tomatoes
- 1 cup plain greek yogurt
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 15 oz jar of marinara sauce
- 6 oz fresh spinach
Directions:
- Heat 1 TBS of olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet.
- Add ground sausage and cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic, and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- To the same skillet with sausage, add uncooked rigatoni, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, marinara and diced tomatoes.
- Bring to a boil on medium heat and stir everything well. Cover with a lid, and allow the pasta to cook for about 10 to 15 minutes on medium heat, while the sauce simmers. Stir occasionally
- Turn heat to low. Mix about ¼ cup of the hot liquid with greek yogurt in a glass measuring cup. This will temper the greek yogurt, and prevent it from curdling. Add mixture to the skillet and mix gently.
- Add fresh spinach, and cook on medium heat, stirring frequently for a couple of minutes, until the spinach wilts
- Remove from heat, top with fresh parmesan cheese, and enjoy!
