Equipment
- Slow Cooker
Ingredients
- ½ white onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 12 ounces chicken sausage cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces cavatappi pasta uncooked
- 1 wheel Boursin cheese Garlic & Fine Herbs
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups chopped fresh spinach
Instructions
- If your slow cooker has a saute function, turn it on. If not, heat a skillet on the stovetop.
- Add the olive oil and onion and saute until softened. If using a skillet, transfer the onion to the slow cooker.
- Add the chicken broth, chicken sausage, Italian seasoning, and salt.
- Cover and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours (or on low for 4 to 6 hours).
- Turn the slow cooker to high if needed. Stir in the cavatappi and heavy cream. Make sure the pasta is coated in broth. Place the Boursin on top. Cover and cook 30 more minutes.
- After 30 minutes, stir to combine the Boursin and then stir in the Parmesan cheese and spinach. Cover and cook another 10-15 minutes, until the pasta is tender and the spinach is wilted. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
If the sauce is thicker than you like, stir in a splash more broth. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
