Creating Creamy Tuscan Sausage Pasta is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente. Reserve about ½ cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
2. Brown the Sausage: In the same pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the Italian sausage, breaking it into pieces as it cooks. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Sauté the Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the pot, cooking for about 1 minute or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
4. Add the Cream and Broth: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir until well combined and bring to a simmer.
5. Incorporate the Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
6. Mix in Spinach and Cheese: Stir in the fresh spinach and grated Parmesan cheese. Allow the spinach to wilt and the cheese to melt, creating a creamy sauce.
7. Combine with Pasta: Add the drained pasta to the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, use the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency. Mix well.
8. Season: Incorporate Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste, adjusting based on your preference.
9. Serve Hot: Turn off the heat and allow the dish to sit for a couple of minutes to thicken slightly.
10. Garnish: Serve your Creamy Tuscan Sausage Pasta garnished with fresh basil leaves, if desired.
