Ingredients
- 2 boxes (16 Oz. Size) Pasta, Rigatoni Or Penne
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 whole Large Onion, Diced
- 10 whole Italian Sausages
- ¾ cups Vermouth Or White Wine
- Salt And Pepper
- 6 cups Arugula, Baby Spinach, Baby Kale Or Sautéed Brocoli
- 1-½ cup Parmesan
Preparation
Get your pot of water boiling for the pasta and remember to add plenty of salt to your water.
In a large skillet, drizzle in some olive oil and add onions. Cook until translucent. (Garlic is a good addition, but not necessary at this point.) Remove the sausages from their skins and add to the skillet to cook completely.
Add wine or vermouth (it could also be chicken stock or water). Cook down until half the liquid is left. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
In the meantime, cook pasta according to package directions, or as desired.
Spread the arugula or other leafy vegetable in a large pasta bowl. If using broccoli, add during the last few minutes of cooking the meat or steam or sauté.
Once pasta is cooked, strain and place into the pasta bowl over the vegetables. The heat from the pasta will cook the leafy veggies perfectly. Top with Parmesan, and that’s all there is to it. Mix at the table and serve.
Bon appétit!
