Print Recipe

A hearty 30-minute Italian sausage pasta dish featuring spinach, mushrooms, and marinara sauce. It’s dairy-free with no cream or cheese, perfect for busy weeknights and meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz pasta (farfalle, penne, or spaghetti)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 oz crimini mushrooms, sliced
  • 15 oz or 1 lb mild Italian sausage, crumbled (dairy-free)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • red pepper flakes, to taste
  • 13 oz tomato marinara pasta sauce
  • 6 oz or 2 cups fresh spinach
  • salt and coarsely ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook 12 oz pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, cook crumbled Italian sausage for about 5 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat.
  4. Add minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes to the sausage. Stir in marinara sauce and fresh spinach. Bring to a boil, then simmer covered for 5-10 minutes until spinach wilts, stirring occasionally.
  5. Add cooked pasta and mushrooms to the skillet. Mix everything well, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve hot.

Notes

Use gluten-free pasta for a gluten-free option. Great for meal prep as it reheats well without dairy. Adjust red pepper flakes for desired spiciness.
