Ingredients
  

  • 1 box Barilla Blue Box Pasta Penne 1/2 pound
  • 1 package Johnsonville Mild Italian Sausage 19 ounces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups Parmesan cheese grated
  • 4 cups fresh spinach

  • pepper

Instructions
 

  • Boil water, pour Barilla Penne Pasta into the water and cook as directed.
  • While the pasta is cooking, make sausage meatballs using Johnsonville Mild Italian Sausage.
  • You can make meatballs of any size you like. I like to make mine different sizes and save the smaller meatballs to put on top of the pasta.
  • Once you have all the meatballs finished place them into a frying pan with two tablespoons of olive oil and cook thoroughly.
  • Once the pasta is finished cooking, drain the water and set aside.
  • Once the sausage meatballs have finished cooking, place a paper towel in the bottom of a bowl and put meatballs into the bowl.
  • Set aside.Pour the milk and butter into a medium-sized pan and warm on a medium heat.
  • Once the milk and butter mixture is hot, add the garlic and Parmesan cheese and turn up the heat to high and allow it to reach a boil.
  • Be sure to stir or whisk the entire time or it will burn.
  • Once it reaches a boil, remove from heat and continue to stir until you are sure all the cheese is melted.
  • Add the spinach and mix.Pour the Alfredo sauce and meatballs over the pasta and mix.
  • Salt and pepper to taste.
  • Top with Parmesan cheese (optional)
