Creamy Pasta with Italian Sausage and Ground Beef

May 17, 2021 · Rhelena · Leave a Comment

This creamy pasta with Italian sausage and ground beef also contains spinach and mushrooms for a nutritious meal in a bowl that the entire family will enjoy! It is quick and easy as it only takes about an hour to make, from start to finish, and makes enough to feed a small family for a few meals.

Creamy Pasta with Italian Sausage and Spinach

Italian sausages are an easy way to add flavor to just about any dish. They also make it super easy to hide the flavors of spinach and mushrooms, which some kids might not want to eat otherwise. Plus, with the ground beef, you have two pounds of meat in here to fill even the hungriest teenage boys.

Because this recipe is so loaded, you can always omit the mushrooms, the spinach, or even the ground beef if you wanted to, and it would still taste great!

The Pasta

Choose your favorite pasta to make this creamy Italian sausage pasta! I chose a gluten-free Fusilli pasta, but honestly, anything will work from elbow pasta to spaghetti even!

Not only that, if you’re on a special diet like keto, or paleo, you can choose your favorite wheat-free and low-carb pasta that you’re used to. Black bean and kelp pastas are good options for low-carb alternatives.

Tip: For extra creaminess, cook your pasta in whole milk! Fattening, but oh yeah!!! Then use the excess milk to make the sauce instead of the cream!

The Ground Beef

Again, you can choose just about any type of ground beef. But for a healthy dish and lots of flavor, choose organic and grass fed whenever you can. The meat you choose here can make a huge difference in the final taste of the dish.

Another thing to consider is regular, lean or extra lean. Personally, I hate having to drain the fat from my meat, so my personal choice is lean or extra lean.

The Sausage

As for the Italian sausage, choose your favorite brand, and go low-sodium if you’re worried about salt intake.

If you love spice, choose a hot Italian sausage. But if you’re cooking for kids or anyone who has a low tolerance for spice, go with a mild instead.

You will need to remove the casing from the sausage prior to putting it into the pan. This is super easy to do simply by making a slit with a sharp knife.
