Instructions
- Add penne to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min.
- Drain and return penne to the same pot, off heat.
- Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over high heat.
- Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then beef and peppers. Cook, breaking up sausage into smaller pieces, until no pink remains and peppers are tender-crisp, 3-4 min.**
- Season with 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic salt and pepper.
- Reduce heat to medium-high.
- Add Smoked Paprika-Garlic Blend to the pan. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 1 min.
- Add cream cheese and 1/2 cup (1 cup) water.
- Cook, stirring often, until cheese is melted and sauce has thickened slightly, 1-2 min.
- Meanwhile, roughly chop or tear spinach.
- Add roasted pepper pesto, garlic puree, spinach and beef mixture to the pot with penne. Stir, until spinach wilts and pesto is combined into sauce, 1-2 min.
- Season with 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic salt and pepper.
- Divide pasta between bowls.
- Sprinkle feta over top.
If you've opted to get beef, cook it in the same way the recipe instructs you to cook the sausage.
