My affair with escarole and beans continues and adding sausage to it sends me over the moon. Got this recipe from one of the best, skinnytaste , with a few adjustments. If you don’t have escarole, spinach or kale would work. Don’t forget to save some pasta water. 👩🏻‍🍳. PASTA WITH ITALIAN CHICKEN SAUSAGE, ESCAROLE AND BEANS 16 oz pasta
1 tsp olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
12 oz uncooked Italian chicken sausage, removed from casing (Al Fresco)
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 cup cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1 medium head, 7-8 cups escarole. rinsed and torn into bite sized pieces
1/4 cup grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper, or to taste (optional)
salt and fresh pepper to taste. INSTRUCTIONS

Rinse escarole and tear into bite sized pieces.
Cook pasta according to package directions for al dente in a large pot of salted water. Reserve 1/2 cup water before draining.
While pasta water boils, heat a large non-stick skillet on medium heat.
Add olive oil; when hot add onions, garlic, salt and pepper until soft, about 4-5 minutes.
Add sausage, breaking up with a wooden spoon and cook until golden, about 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside in a dish.
Add chicken broth and beans to the skillet.
Add the escarole; stir and cook about 4 minutes or until wilted.
Gently stir in sausage, pasta, red pepper flakes, 1/2 cup of the reserved water or more if needed and grated Parmesan. Adjust salt and pepper if needed and toss well; transfer to a large serving bowl. Enjoy with some extra cheese on the side.
