Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp. Oil
- 1 lb. Italian Sausage sliced into bite sized pieces if in casings
- 1 Onion chopped
- 4-5 cloves Garlic chopped
- 1 Tbsp. Arrowroot
- ¾ Cup Milk of choice almond milk if dairy free
- 1 Cup Broth
- 1 Cup Whole sun dried tomatoes chopped after measuring. If pre-chopped, then ¾ cup.
- 1 Tbsp. Mustard
- 1 tsp. Lemon Juice
- 1 bunch Spinach or ½ lb. frozen, or ½ bag fresh
- ¼ Cup Parmesan Cheese (omit if paleo or Whole30)
- salt optional
Instructions
- Heat oil over medium heat. When hot, add the sausage. Cook 10-12 minutes or until no longer pink inside. Remove from pan and set aside, leaving the oil in the pan.
- Add onion to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then add garlic and cook until both are softened.
- Push the garlic and onions aside in the pan. Gradually whisk the arrowroot into the oil in the pan. Stir the onion and garlic into the mixture to coat everything.
- Slowly whisk the milk into the pan, scraping up the brown bits as you go. Let it boil and thicken in between adding more milk.
- Slowly whisk in the broth, again letting it thicken in between additions. Whisk in the mustard and lemon juice.
- Add in the sausages, spinach, and sun dried tomatoes. When spinach has wilted and everything has heated through, let it simmer a few minutes to thicken if needed. If using the parmesan cheese, add it in and stir.
- Serve and enjoy!
