Sausage and Bow-Tie Pasta Florentine Recipe

Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack at about 6 inches from the heat source. Place the sausage links onto a broiler pan and broil in the preheated oven until the sausage is crispy on the outside and no longer pink on the inside about 8 minutes. Turn the sausage once as it cooks.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the bow-tie pasta and cook until al dente 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and return to the pot along with the spinach; keep warm over medium-low heat.

Heat the olive oil in a separate pot over medium heat and stir in the garlic and cook until the garlic softens and the aroma mellows about 3 minutes. Add the Alfredo sauce and black pepper then bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cut the cooked sausage into bite-sized pieces and add to the simmering Alfredo sauce along with the pasta and spinach. Stir until the pasta is hot and well coated with the sauce.
