Follow these easy steps to create your Tuscan Sausage Pasta in Creamy Sauce:

1. Cook Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Brown Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once heated, add the sausage and cook until browned, breaking it into pieces with a spatula. This should take around 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Create Sauce Base: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for about 3-5 minutes.
5. Stir in Spinach and Tomatoes: Add the fresh spinach and sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet. Continue cooking until the spinach wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Incorporate Cheese: Gradually mix in the Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt into the sauce. Stir well to combine, making the sauce creamy and flavorful.
7. Combine with Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss until fully coated in the creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a bit more chicken broth.
8. Season: Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as necessary.
9. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil.
10. Serve Warm: Scoop portions onto plates and top with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
