Ingredients
- 6 ounces orecchiette pasta
- 8 ounces Italian sausage casings removed

Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a deep skillet over medium heat and brown the Italian sausage, breaking it into small pieces.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
- Stir in the orecchiette and chicken broth, bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Cover and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring twice, until the pasta is tender and most of the broth is absorbed.
- Fold in the baby spinach and cook for 2 minutes, until wilted.
- Remove from the heat, stir in the Parmesan and black pepper, and serve immediately.
Notes
Add a splash of hot water if the pan becomes dry before the pasta is tender.
