Directions

1. Step 1Bring a 5- to 6-qt pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta; cook as package directs.
2. Step 2Meanwhile, heat oil in a 10- to 12-in. nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; sauté 2 minutes or until just beginning to brown. Add sausage and cook, crumbling with a spoon, until browned, about 4 minutes.
3. Step 3Stir in chicken broth, stirring to dissolve any browned bits. Stir in cream and nutmeg; simmer 1 minute. Remove from heat.
4. Step 4Place spinach in colander; drain pasta over the spinach (spinach will wilt). Return pasta and spinach to pot; toss with sausage mixture. Serve with grated Parmesan.
