This Keto Creamy Tuscan Sausage recipe is a rich and flavorful dish featuring Italian sausage simmered in a creamy sauce with spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. Perfect for a comforting low-carb meal, it combines savory sausage with the freshness of greens and tangy tomatoes, all topped with Parmesan cheese for an extra touch of indulgence.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb Italian sausage (sweet or spicy)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions

  1. Brown the sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess fat before transferring the cooked sausage to the crockpot.
  2. Combine ingredients: Add the heavy cream, chicken broth, fresh spinach, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, minced garlic, salt, and pepper into the crockpot with the sausage. Stir well to thoroughly combine all ingredients.
  3. Cook the mixture: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 5 hours or on high for 3 hours. This slow simmer allows the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
  4. Serve: Once cooked, ladle the creamy Tuscan sausage mixture into bowls and garnish generously with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve hot and enjoy.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, use spicy Italian sausage instead of sweet.
  • You can substitute fresh spinach with kale or swiss chard if preferred.
  • If sun-dried tomatoes are not available, diced roasted red peppers make a good alternative.
  • To keep it strictly keto, ensure the chicken broth is low-carb and free of sugars or starches.
  • For a thicker sauce, reduce the chicken broth slightly or add a teaspoon of xanthan gum before cooking.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
