Print Recipe

A hearty and satisfying weeknight dinner featuring spaghetti tossed with savory Italian sausage, earthy mushrooms, and spinach in a rich tomato sauce.[1]

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz spaghetti
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 oz mushrooms crimini, sliced
  • 15 oz Italian sausage crumbled
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning or Herbs de Provence
  • red pepper flakes to taste
  • 14 oz tomato sauce
  • 3 medium fresh tomatoes chopped
  • 6 oz fresh spinach
  • salt and coarsely ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook 16 oz spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 8 oz sliced crimini mushrooms and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove mushrooms to a plate.[1]
  2. To the same skillet, add 15 oz crumbled Italian sausage and cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes until cooked through. Drain excess fat.[1]
  3. Add 4 minced garlic cloves, ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes to taste, 14 oz tomato sauce, 3 chopped medium fresh tomatoes, and 6 oz fresh spinach to the skillet with sausage. Bring to a gentle boil, stir well, and cook on medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until spinach wilts and tomatoes soften.[1]
  4. Add cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to combine. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Top with cooked mushrooms when serving.[1]

Notes

Use fresh spinach as it wilts quickly into the sauce. Adjust red pepper flakes for desired spiciness. Mushrooms can be cooked ahead for faster prep.[1]
