Instrucțiuni

Begin by chopping your garlic, shallot and spinach. Set aside until ready to use.

Next, remove the casings from your Italian sausage and break into bite-size pieces. Set aside until ready to use.

To a large frying pan add your olive oil and set to medium/high heat.Once hot, add your Italian sausage and fry for 4 to 5 minutes, just until the sausage begins to brown.

Add, your garlic, shallot and red pepper flakes and sauté on medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes, just until the shallot has softended.

Add your tomato paste and sauté until it changes into a dark red colour. About 3 minutes.

Add your uncooked penne, tomato sauce, stock, heavy cream and water.

Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the pasta is fully cooked and the liquid is nearly all absorbed. About 10 minutes.Sammy tip: stir the pasta every few minutes to avoid it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
