Sausage Cherry Tomato And Spinach Fettuccine
Servings 4
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound dry uncooked fettuccine
olive oil, as needed
1 medium onion, sliced (I recommend using a red onion for stronger flavor)
4 hot Italian sausages, casings removed
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 pint red cherry tomatoes
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/3 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
4 cups fresh baby spinach, can use more
salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
freshly grated Parmesan(use as much as you like)
Cook the fettuccine according to the package directions; drain and set aside.
Meanwhile heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, using enough oil to lightly coat the bottom of the saucepan.
Add the sausage and onion cooking until the meat is browned (adding in the garlic the last 2-3 minutes of cooking; drain fat.
Add the tomatoes and cook stirring until the skins burst (about 8 minutes) then stir in the vinegar.
Toss in the cooked fettuccine, fresh basil, and spinach then toss gently to combine, then season with salt and pepper.
Serve in bowls and top with the Parmesan.

Hi Kitten. I know it won’t taste the same, but could you include measurements for dried herbs for those of us who don’t have gardens? Fresh basil in quantity (small plastic bubble packs which contain maybe 8 basil leaves)is $2.69 at my grocery. Thanks.
I would go with 1 teaspoon dried basil and add it in when browning the sausage Mary
Thanks, Kitten. I was thinking maybe a tablespoon, so I’m glad that I asked. Sounds good for dinner tonight with some crusty bread!
your could go with a tablespoon Mary that will be quite strong through I would stick to a teaspoon
This is a wonderful blend of flavors, Kitten. We really enjoyed it with parmesan topped, toasted bread (actually half a hoagie). The sausage, onions, garlic, and tomatoes mix salty and sweet, savory and piquant all at once. Perfect with spinach and pasta. Your recommendation about amounts of dried basil was right on target. I only used half a pound of pasta and my fettucine turned out to be linguine when I pulled it from the pantry, but it worked well.
wonderful Mary I’m glad you liked it! I was quite sure that 1 teaspoon would be plenty, is that what you used?
Yes, Kitten, and one teaspoon was fine. Thanks again.
