Farfalle with Sausage

I found this recipe on this website. It was really good and really easy to make.

Ingredients

- 5 1/2 cups farfalle (bowtie) pasta
- 5 sausages
- 4 liters baby spinach
- 1 1/2 onions
- 1 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tbsp Parmesan cheese
- salt and ground pepper to taste

Directions

1. Coarsely chop the onions. Clean the baby spinach.
2. Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté 2-3 minutes with stirring.
3. Remove the skin from the sausage, then add the meat to the pan. Break the meat up using a wooden spoon, and cook 4-5 minutes until it looses its pink colour.
4. Cook the pasta
5. Pour the warm broth into the frying pan. Reduce 5 minutes until the broth is almost completely absorbed but the sauce is still moist.
6. Pour the drained pasta into the frying pan, then add the baby spinach. Add salt and pepper to taste, then sprinkle with grated Parmesan. Toss well and serve.

Changes
I didn't really change too much, but I did use a spicy Italian sausage instead of regular sausages and I also added a bit of half and half cream for a bit more in the sauce. I served it with garlic bread and salad, overall the dish was really good, but the next time I'll make it I may add more to the recipe as the servings weren't as big as was hoped to be.
