Ingredients
  • 13 oz Italian turkey sausage

  • 7.5 oz medium pasta shells

  • 1 cup marinara sauce

  • 2.5 cups chicken broth

  • 4 oz fresh baby spinach

  • 1/2 medium yellow onion

  • 3 cloves garlic cloves

  • 3 tbsp parmesan cheese

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
  • 1

    Peel and finely dice 1/2 yellow onion and peel and mince 3 garlic cloves.

  • 2

    Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

  • 3

    Add 13 ounces raw Italian turkey sausage to the pot, breaking it into bite-sized crumbles with a spatula, and cook until browned for 8 minutes.

  • 4

    Stir in the diced 1/2 yellow onion and minced 3 garlic cloves, cooking for 4 minutes until the onion is softened and translucent.

  • 5

    Pour in 1 cup marinara sauce and 2.5 cups chicken broth, stirring well to combine and scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

  • 6

    Bring the liquid to a rolling boil, then stir in 7.5 ounces dry pasta shells.

  • 7

    Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 12 minutes until the pasta is tender and most liquid is absorbed.

  • 8

    Remove the lid and stir in 4 ounces rinsed fresh baby spinach and 3 tablespoons parmesan cheese for 2 minutes until the spinach is fully wilted.

  • 9

    Remove from heat and let the pasta rest for 2 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly before serving.
