Instructions
- Brown the Sausage: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Remove and set aside.
- Sauté the Aromatics: In the same pot, add the diced onion and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Make the Broth: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the diced tomatoes and the cooked sausage. Add the ditalini pasta and cook according to the pasta's package instructions (about 8-10 minutes).
- Add the Cream and Spinach: Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and fresh spinach. Let the soup simmer for another 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted and the soup is creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
