Ingredients

  • 12 ounces whole-wheat short pasta, such as shells or twists
  • 8 ounces hot Italian turkey sausage links, removed from casings
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 8 cups arugula or baby spinach
  • 2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup finely shredded Pecorino Romano or Parmesan cheese, plus more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook pasta until just tender, 9 to 11 minutes, or according to package directions.

Meanwhile, cook sausage in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, arugula (or spinach) and tomatoes. Cook, stirring often, until the greens wilt and the tomatoes begin to break down, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat; cover and keep warm.

Combine 1/2 cup cheese, pepper and salt in a large bowl. Measure out 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid; drain the pasta. Whisk the cooking liquid and oil into the cheese mixture; add the pasta and toss to combine. Serve the pasta topped with the sausage mixture and an extra sprinkle of cheese, if desired.

    Hmm...

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    I thought this was a great dish, but my husband said it would've been better with sauce or saucier. I think the point was to... savor the meat and veggies, so for me it was great.Read more

    Overall Good Recipe

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I was looking for a recipe that was simple, I cook whip up in less than 45 minutes and had lots of flavor AND healthy, all at... the same time. I came across this lovely recipe and tweaked it a bit. I used spicy italian sausage instead of turkey sausage, added 1 red onion, LOTS of garlic, about 10 black Kalamata olives chopped and crushed red pepper to taste. Oh, and did I mention that my husband and I are lactose intolerant so we used capre sarda (a goat cheese) and sheeps milk pecorino romano for the cheese mixture and can I say that the dish was amazing! My husband gave it rave reviews. Albeit I did not follow the recipe rigidly I think it is a wonderful base for lots of creativity.Read more

    This was really easy to make and turned out delicious! The only issue was that the cheese-cooking liquid mixture was a little... difficult to combine, but otherwise it turned out great!Read more
