PENNE WITH SPINACH PESTO AND TURKEY SAUSAGE



Penne with Spinach Pesto and Turkey Sausage image

Spinach takes center stage here: it serves as the base for the super-green pesto, along with basil and peas, and leaves are crisped in the oven for the topping. Coins of roasted Italian turkey sausage add heft but can be omitted if you want to go vegetarian.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

7 cups packed curly spinach leaves, well washed and dried
2 cups packed fresh basil leaves
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 cups frozen peas, thawed
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1/3 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
12 ounces sweet Italian turkey sausage (3 to 4 links)
1 pound short pasta, such as penne rigate

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a food processor, combine 4 cups spinach, basil, lemon juice, 1/2 cup peas, and olive oil; process until combined. Pulse in cheese; season with salt and pepper. Using kitchen shears, snip sausage into 1-inch pieces. Drizzle with oil; roast on a rimmed baking sheet until undersides are brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Flip and push to one side. Lightly drizzle remaining 3 cups spinach with oil; season with salt and pepper. Scatter evenly over other half of sheet; roast until sausage is cooked through and spinach is crisp, 5 to 6 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in a pot of salted boiling water according to package directions. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta water. Return pasta to pot; add pesto, sausage, remaining 1 cup peas, and pasta water, 1/4 cup at a time, until evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper.
