Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 tbs avocado oil
  • 5 sausage links mild Italian
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ cup mushrooms chopped
  • ½ cup sweet onion chopped
  • 28 oz diced tomatoes (or crushed)
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 tbs dried basil
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • cup coconut milk
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 3 cups penne rice noodles

Instructions

  • In a large wok or pan, heat the avocado oil over medium heat. Add in the onions, garlic, and mushrooms. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the onions begin to go clear.
  • Add in the sausage slices and turn the heat up slightly (just above medium). Cook 10-12 minutes until all of the sliced are browned on the outside and the sausages are mostly cooked through.
  • Add in the canned tomatoes, broth, basil, sea salt, and chili flakes. Stir well. Mix in the noodles and cover.
  • Within 1-2 minutes the mixture should be covered and boiling slightly. Cook covered at a small boil for 10minutes.
  • Uncover and stir. Leave the lid off and cook for another 12-15 minutes or until noodles are tender. In the meantime, chop your spinach.
  • Stir in the coconut milk, nutritional yeast, spinach and turn off the heat.
  • Let sit for 3-5 more minutes for the sauce to turn creamy.
  • Serve.

Notes

  • Not all gluten-free noodles are interchangeable. This recipe works best with quinoa or rice penne.
  • In place of Italian sausage, chicken sausage can be used. However, cooking times (and heat) may vary.
  • Homemade bone broth is great but if you don't regularly have some, opt for bone broth powder. All you need to do is whisk it into boiling water!
  • Top each dish with a pinch of cayenne pepper if you like it spicy or homemade parmesan cheese.
  • The recipe makes 4-5 servings.
