Penne with Shrimp and Sausage
Recipe from wendyinchicago
This recipe is from my cousin, we made it one late night for a quick dinner. The ingredients are below and when used in full it serves 8, tonight I used about half of them to make 4 servings, (love the leftovers), it's a very forgiving recipe you can fiddle as you want. I put notes in red.
Penne with Shrimp and Sausage
6 pieces turkey or pork italian sausage (I skinned it and made little meat balls out of them)
1 lb cleaned shrimp (just a note, I hate cleaning shrimp, used to have a cool tool for it..hmm)
2 bags baby spinach (10 oz total)
1 small can peeled & chopped tomatoes drained (14 oz can)
1 lb penne (I used mini penne)
garlic (use as much as you want)
< olive oil (initially use it to cook sausage, then a bit more for garlic/shrimp, and add some to finished pasta)
parmigiano cheese (mix in some to taste, add more on your own)
toasted pine nuts (I skipped these and added chopped basil instead)
salt & pepper red pepper flakes (if you want it a bit spicy)
Saute skinless sausage until brown, remove from pan, set aside, don't clean pan then
add olive oil & garlic cook until tender add shrimp, cook until pink.
Meanwhile boil water and cook pasta After draining pasta keep about a 1/4 cup of the water (you really don't want it soupy)
Mix pasta, shrimp, sausage, tomatoes, and spinach....add more olive oil Stir gently over heat until spinach wilts, add remaining pasta water if necessary. Sprinkle with cheese to taste. Add salt, pepper & red pepper flakes, to taste Add pine nuts and serve.
Eat a big bowlful with a nice bottle of red wine and enjoy!
