You\u2019re going to love how it turns out.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Pasta:\u00a0<\/strong>I love using pasta that can really soak up the sauce and hold it in its crevices. For this creamy sausage pasta you can use almost any pasta you like, even spaghetti if that\u2019s what you have on hand. Try cavatappi, rigatoni, conchiglie, <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/tagliatelle-pasta\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">tagliatelle<\/a>, or fusilli for fun and ease.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Al Dente:\u00a0<\/strong>Cook your pasta al dente. This means that the pasta is tender but is still chewy and holds it shape with a bit of firmness. This will allow the pasta to absorb the sauce a bit and hold on to the flavor in every bite.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sausage:\u00a0<\/strong>You can use just about any sausage you would like. I prefer to use Italian sausage, which is just sausage flavored with Italian-type spices versus regular sausage, but both will work. Italian sausage can be found in both mild and spicy, and either will taste amazing. For leaner versions try chicken or turkey Italian sausage.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heavy Cream:\u00a0<\/strong>You can use <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/homemade-half-and-half\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">half and half <\/a>instead of heavy cream to also cut a few calories but your sauce won\u2019t turn out quite as rich.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spinach:\u00a0<\/strong>If you don\u2019t have fresh spinach, frozen will work. Be sure to really squeeze out any of the extra liquid. Kale and Swiss chard can also be used.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .block-quick-tips__inner --><\/div>\n<p> <!-- .block-quick-tips --><\/p>\n<div class=\"block-leftovers-callout\"><!-- .block-leftovers-callout__icon --><\/p>\n<div class=\"block-leftovers-callout__inner\">\n<div class=\"block-leftovers-callout__content\">\n<h3>How to Store Creamy Tuscan Sausage Pasta <\/h3>\n<p>Like most Italian dishes, this sausage pasta is almost better the next day after the flavors have had time to meld together.
