Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tbs Butter melted
  • 1 Small Onion chopped
  • 8 oz Mushrooms sliced
  • 3-4 cloves Garlic minced or pressed
  • 1 lb Ground Italian Sausage or ground meat of choice
  • 2 Tbs Italian Seasoning
  • 1 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 lb Short Pasta small shells, penne, etc
  • 1-2 cups Milk raw is great!
  • Chicken Broth enough to cover pasta
  • 1/2 - 1 bag Baby Spinach washed
  • 1 cup Provolone Cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
  • Garlic Salt to taste

Equipment

  • Dutch Oven / Large Pot
  • Garlic Press

Method
 

  1. Add butter, onion, mushrooms and garlic in your dutch oven or large saucepot. Sauté approximately 3-5 mins, til the onion is translucent and aromatic.
  2. Add your pound of ground meat to the pot.
  3. Once the meat is cooked and starts to brown, add your Italian Seasoning and Red Pepper Flakes (you can measure with your heart here!🥰) Stir to evenly distribute seasonings.
  4. Add in your dry pasta, milk and chicken broth. You want there to be enough liquid to cover the pasta completely.
  5. Simmer until the pasta is tender.
  6. Once pasta is cooked, add in your spinach, stir in and let wilt.
  7. Add in your cheeses, stir and let melt.
  8. Add garlic salt to your taste preferences.

Notes

You can add more or less milk & broth to change the thickness of this dish; it can be a soup or pasta dish!
You can add stewed or sundried tomatoes to this too! Add them to the pot the same time as the pasta.
