Just recently I became acquainted with that wonderful, frozen pasta – cavatelli. This is great stuff. You’ll find it in the frozen food section.
2 Tbsp. olive oil
2 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. minced garlic
4 links crumbled sausage (pork, turkey, chicken – whatever you wish)
1/2-3/4 cup crushed tomatoes
Kosher salt & pepper to taste
2 bags (about 8 oz. each) frozen cavatelli pasta
1/2 – 3/4 bag of rinsed & squeezed dry baby spinach
1 cup Parmesan or Pecorino Romano
Heat the butter and oil; stir in the garlic and sizzle for about 1 minute; add the sausages and crank up the heat a bit to medium-high to cook/brown the meat nicely. Add the crushed tomatoes, salt & pepper, and cook about 10 minutes – or just keep it simmering low until the cavatelli is done.
Meanwhile read the directions on the pasta package and cook accordingly. Drain and put back into pot you cooked the pasta in. Stir the sauce & sausage mixture into the pot, add the spinach then add 1 cup of grated cheese. Mix well over low-medium heat for about 2 minutes. Serve!
