Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound kielbasa sausage, sliced
  • 12 ounces pasta (such as penne or rotini)
  • 1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup spinach, chopped
Seasonings
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Cooking
  1. In a large pot or skillet over medium heat, cook the sliced kielbasa for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and fragrant.
  2. Add the undrained diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and pasta to the pot. Increase heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce it to a simmer.
  3. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente, typically about 9-11 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Once the pasta is cooked, carefully fold in the heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, and chopped spinach. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve warm, generously topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

For best results, serve hot directly from the pot. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. This dish also freezes well for up to 3 months.
