Description

Great, spicy, flavorful dish, full of different textures and actually full of healthy nutritious products (I used lean chicken sausage!). It’s a great Monday night meal. I made it in 15 minutes last night, and served with a green salad. You are golden!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Orecchiette Pasta Or Other Short Pasta
  • 5 Tablespoons Olive Oil, Divided
  • 1 pound Spicy Chicken Sausage
  • 6 cups Mustard Greens
  • 1 can (15 Oz. Size) Cannellini Beans, Drained And Rinsed
  • ⅓ cups Finely Chopped Flat Leaf Parsley
  • Kosher Salt And Black Pepper To Taste
  • Freshly Grated Parmesan

Preparation

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

While you are waiting for the water to boil, place a large sauté pan over medium heat. Put 2 Tablespoons of the olive oil in the pan. Squeeze the sausage from the casing into the pan. Break the sausage up into bite sized pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook over medium heat until the sausage is nice and brown and is cooked through. Move the sausage from the pan and place in a bowl, leaving the juice and oil in the pan.

Meanwhile, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package directions. (But be prepared to take the pasta out before it is done so that it can finish cooking with the rest of the ingredients.)

Add 1 additional Tablespoon of oil to the pan. Add the mustard greens to the pan. Stir to coat the greens with oil. When they have wilted down after a few minutes, add the sausage back in and also add the beans.

Drain the pasta, reserving about 2 cups of the pasta liquid. Pour the pasta into the pan with the rest of the ingredients. Add about ½ cup of the pasta water at a time to make sure that the mixture isn’t too dry, and it is still cooking. When the pasta is cooked through (which should only take a couple minutes), add most of the parsley. Toss to coat everything.

Pour the pasta into a serving bowl, and sprinkle with cheese and the rest of the parsley. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil. Stir to combine. (Salt and Pepper to taste at this point)
