Steps:
- Cook pasta in a large pot filled with salted water. Bring pasta to a boil and cook for 12-15 minutes or until pasta is done. Drain and pour back into pot.
- While the pasta is cooking, add the andouille sausage to a skillet with a little olive oil and cook over medium heat until browned and heated throughout. I cook mine for about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove andouille sausage from pan and set aside. Once cool enough to handle, cut the andouille sausage into coins.
- For the Alfredo sauce, add the butter and heavy cream to a sauce pan or skillet. Add in the paprika, pepper and garlic. Whisk together. Heat over medium to high heat until hot.
- Add grated Parmesan and whisk until melted. Raise the heat until the sauce starts to boil and then turn the heat off. Whisk well. Sauce should thicken as the cheese melts but won't be super thick.
- Add in the spinach and stir. Spinach will wilt due to the heat of the sauce.
- Add the sausage to the drained pasta.
- Once the spinach is wilted, pour the alfredo sauce into the pasta and toss to coat.
- Serve

ITALIAN SPINACH AND SAUSAGE SOUP
This is a very quick soup that makes a nice presentation at your dinner party or holiday meal. There are very few ingredients, yet it yields a very flavorful soup. It also makes a complete meal with some crusty bread and a salad. I am not a fan of fennel seed, so I have always omitted it, but the original recipe calls for it, so I won't impose my tastes on everyone!

SPINACH ALFREDO LASAGNA
This casserole relies on a jar of store-bought Alfredo sauce to make it different from traditional tomato-based lasagnas. I came up with this recipe after eating a similar dish at a favorite Italian restaurant. While I'm browning the sausage, I soak the noodles in hot water instead of boiling them. It saves time and the dish turns out great. -Beth Stephas, Eagle Grove, Iowa

SAUSAGE-SPINACH ALFREDO LASAGNA
You can make this into a lower-fat version by using lower-fat cheeses and alfredo sauce. Italian sausages may be replaced for the turkey sausage. Purchase a good-quality alfredo sauce for this, it will make all the difference to this recipe, really you can use as much sauce as desired, the amount listed is only a guideline. This can be completely prepared up to 24 hours in advance, covered and refrigerated, or you can prepared the ricotta/spinach mixture up to a day ahead. This lasagna is *delicious* :)

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The fresher and better the ingredients, the tastier your Italian sausage and spinach Alfredo will be. Use high-quality Italian sausage, fresh baby spinach, and a flavorful Alfredo sauce.
- Don't overcook the sausage: Italian sausage can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook it just until it's browned on the outside and cooked through on the inside.
- Wilt the spinach before adding it to the sauce: Wilting the spinach removes excess moisture and helps it to blend into the sauce more easily. To wilt spinach, heat a large pot or skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and cook, stirring constantly, until it's wilted and bright green, about 2 minutes.
- Use a flavorful Alfredo sauce: The Alfredo sauce is the base of this dish, so it's important to use a flavorful one. You can use a store-bought Alfredo sauce or make your own. If you're making your own, be sure to use high-quality ingredients, such as heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and butter.
- Serve immediately: Italian sausage and spinach Alfredo is best served immediately, while the pasta is still hot and the sauce is creamy. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can cook the pasta and sausage according to the recipe instructions and then store them separately in the refrigerator. When you're ready to serve, reheat the pasta and sausage in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through. Then, stir in the Alfredo sauce and spinach and cook until heated through.
Conclusion:
Italian sausage and spinach Alfredo is a quick and easy meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover Italian sausage. The combination of sausage, spinach, and Alfredo sauce is delicious and satisfying. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give Italian sausage and spinach Alfredo a try.
