Recipe - Escarole Pasta with Sausage and Peppers

INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 medium head escarole (rinsed and torn into bite sized pieces) 
  • 12 ounces pasta (white, whole wheat, or gluten-free) 
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (extra virgin) 
  • 1 medium onion (chopped) 
  • 1 medium red bell pepper (chopped) 
  • 5 cloves garlic (chopped) 
  • 1 lb. Italian chicken sausage (removed from casing) 
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano 
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper 
  • kosher salt and fresh pepper to taste 
DIRECTIONS: Rinse escarole and tear into bite sized pieces. Cook pasta in a large pasta pot of salted water according to package directions for al dente. Reserve 1 cup water before straining. Meanwhile, while pasta water boils, heat a large non-stick skillet on medium heat. Add olive oil; when hot add onions, peppers, garlic, salt and pepper. Cook until soft, about 4-5 minutes. Add sausage, breaking up with a wooden spoon and cook until golden, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add escarole, cover and cook 2 minutes; remove the cover, stir and cook about 3 more minutes or until wilted. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Add the cooked pasta, crushed red pepper flakes, reserved water and Parmigiano Reggiano, toss well and transfer to a large serving bowl.
