½<\/span> cup<\/span> Parmesan grated for serving<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Directions<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n

Melt butter in a 4 quart pot on medium high heat, add the chopped garlic and saut\u00e9 for a few minutes, constantly stirring. Add chicken base, chicken stock, olive oil, and all of the seasonings whisking occasionally as the sauce thickens and cooks for about 3-5 minutes.
\nUsing a slotted spoon transfer the crispy and cooked sausage to the sauce and reduce the heat to medium heat, stirring occasionally. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Meanwhile cook the Cavetelli pasta for 5\u20136 minutes in a large pot of boiling water with salt, (when the pasta floats to the top, they\u2019re cooked.) Reserve some pasta water and then drain, add to the sauce and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes to let the sauce coat the pasta.
\nTurn the heat off, stir in the fresh spinach and gently mix together. Add the fontina and mozzarella cheese and mix together. Place the lid on for a couple of minutes to help the cheese melt. Stir gently and add the reserve pasta water if needed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve with a loaf of bread or garlic bread. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":463,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","recipe_category":[16],"class_list":["post-462","cp_recipe","type-cp_recipe","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cp_recipe_category-pasta"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/inthekitchenwithvesna.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/cooked_recipe\/462","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/inthekitchenwithvesna.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/cooked_recipe"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/inthekitchenwithvesna.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/cp_recipe"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inthekitchenwithvesna.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inthekitchenwithvesna.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=462"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inthekitchenwithvesna.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/463"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/inthekitchenwithvesna.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=462"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cp_recipe_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inthekitchenwithvesna.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Frecipe_category&post=462"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
