Ingredients

1 lb rigatoni
1 lb ground italian sausage
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tsp garlic powder

Boil salted water in a large pot and cook the rigatoni until tender, about 10 to 12 minutes.
Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes until it reaches 160 F.
Stir in the cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, red pepper, and rosemary, then simmer for 4 minutes.
Drain the rigatoni and add it to the skillet with the Parmesan cheese.
Fold in the spinach and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the leaves wilt and the sauce coats the pasta.
