Skillet Penne, Spinach and Sausage Dinner

This is a fast dinner that all of my kids will eat. I personally love it!

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, minced in food processor
salt
3/4 pound sausage
3 garlic cloves, minced
8 ounces Penne
2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 (5 ounce) bag baby spinach
1/2 cup Parmesan, grated
Pepper

Heat oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and a dash of salt and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the sausage and cook, until no longer pink, about 4 minutes.

Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Add penne. Pour the broth and cream over the pasta. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to simmer. stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender about 10 minutes.

Stir in the spinach a handful at a time and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Stir in Parmesan cheese and pepper and serve.
