3 Ingredient Pasta

An easy, family-friendly weeknight meal, which is ready within minutes.
Prep Time 3 minutes
Cook Time 17 minutes
Servings: 4
Course: Main Course

Ingredients
  

  • 500 grams fussili pasta (could also be whole grain)
  • 100 grams suçuk (Turkish sausage)
  • 200 grams whipping cream (schlagsahne)
  • 125 grams baby spinach
  • salt and pepper

Method
 

  1. Remove the outer covering of suçuk, and chop it roughly into small pieces.
  2. Boil about 3 liters of water with a tablespoon of salt. Add the pasta and cook according to packet instructions (until al-dente). Do not overcook. Reserve about 200 ml of pasta water before draining.
  3. You can put the same pot (used for boiling pasta), back on medium heat. Add the suçuk pieces. The suçuk will render its fat into the pot. Add the boiled pasta, whipping cream, baby spinach and the reserved pasta water. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Lower the heat and cover. Let it cook for about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Turn off heat and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
  6. Serve with a big portion of salad for a filling meal.
