Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Kosher salt
8 ounces penne
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 ounces sweet Italian sausage, casings removed (about 2 links)
1 1/2 cups collard greens cut into 1/4-inch ribbons (tough stems removed)
2 cloves garlic, minced
Pinch of red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Freshly grated Parmesan, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water, then drain the pasta.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the collard greens, garlic, pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the greens are wilted, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the pasta, lemon zest, and half of the reserved pasta water to the skillet and toss. If needed, add more of the pasta water and toss again. Serve topped with Parmesan.

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 sweet onion, cut into wedges
1 medium zucchini, sliced in 1/2 lengthwise
1 red bell pepper, cheeks removed
1/2 pound button mushrooms, stemmed
2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pint grape tomatoes, washed and dried
2 sweet or hot Italian sausages, thinly sliced or casings removed
1/4 cup white wine
12 ounces whole-grain penne, cooked according to package instructions, 1/2 cup pasta water reserved
Freshly grated Parmesan, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a bowl, toss all the vegetables, except the tomatoes, with 1 1/2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Arrange on a baking sheet and roast, until caramelized, about 30 minutes, turning vegetables halfway through the cooking time. In a small bowl, add the tomatoes and the remaining olive oil and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and add to the baking sheet, at the halfway point of cooking, to caramelize.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, add the sausage and saute until cooked through. Turn up the heat and deglaze with white wine. Once the vegetables are cooked, cool slightly, then coarsely chop. Add the vegetables and any pan juices to the sausage in the skillet. Toss in the cooked penne, adding reserved pasta water, if needed, to moisten. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve in bowls topped with Parmesan.

PASTA WITH ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE, BEANS AND GREENS



Pasta With Andouille Sausage, Beans and Greens image

Highly seasoned Andouille sausage makes this pasta extra-zippy, while white beans and collard greens give it a rustic flair. They are not ingredients typically used in pasta, but this dish may become part of your regular rotation once you try it. This one-dish dinner is perfect for cold, cozy nights when you want something hearty to stick to your bones, but it will satisfy any time. Swirling in lemon juice and olive oil just before serving adds freshness and ties all of the flavors together.

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
12 ounces Andouille sausage, diced
1 shallot, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 bunch collard greens, stems discarded, leaves coarsely chopped (4 1/2 cups)
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup diced fresh tomato (from 1 large)
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup thinly sliced chives
1 lemon, zested and cut into wedges, for serving
1/4 cup grated Parmesan, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente according to the package's instructions.

  • Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water and drain pasta. Return pasta to the empty pot and set over medium-low. Add the sausage mixture and toss to combine, gradually adding the reserved pasta water as needed to create a sauce.
  • Remove from the heat and sprinkle with parsley, chives, lemon zest and Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide among bowls, drizzle with olive oil and serve with lemon wedges.
