Directions: |
Directions:Brown the sausage meat with the onion and garlic in olive oil. Add in the spinach. ( It will cook down.) Then add the chicken broth, crushed tomatoes and cannellini beans and let it brew on medium heat for about 10 minutes. Add ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes. Should be slightly bubbling. Stir as needed.
Cook the pasta and keep it separate from the pot of "pastafazul" until ready to serve.
Put some pasta in a bowl and ladle the "pastafazul" over it. Sprinkle cheese on top and enjoy!
Serve with a loaf of crusty Italian bread. Rip off a hunk to sop up the liquid.
If there are leftovers, store the pasta separately from the "pastafazul" as it will soak up all the liquid. |
