Preparation

Step 1

Directions

Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat.

Add onions and garlic and sauté until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes.

Add mushrooms and sausages and sauté until sausage is no longer pink, breaking up the sausages a bit, about 5 minutes.

Add cream and butter; simmer 5 minutes.

Add tomatoes with juices.

Add sage and basil.

Add well drained spinach and wine.

Simmer until sauce thickens, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite.

Return pasta to same pot; add sauce.

Toss over medium heat until sauce coats pasta
