Directions
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
-
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Add the thin lamb sausages to the skillet and fry, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove sausages from the pan and slice into bite-sized pieces.
-
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Add the crushed garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
-
Stir in the baby spinach leaves and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
-
Pour in the reduced-fat thickened cream and stir to combine with the spinach and onion mixture. Simmer gently for 2 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
-
Add the cooked penne pasta and sliced lamb sausages back into the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated in the creamy sauce.
-
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately while hot.
