ESCAROLE, BEANS, SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS CHEAT SHEET



Escarole, Beans, Sausage and Peppers Cheat Sheet image

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
12 ounces Italian sausage, casing removed
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small yellow onion, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large red pepper, stemmed, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch strips
1 teaspoon sea salt, plus additional for sprinkling
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
One 15-ounce can white navy beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 head escarole, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 lemon, cut in half
2 cups cooked ditalini pasta, wild rice or white rice
Grated Parmesan, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven or grill to 425 degrees F.
  • Put the oil in a sheet tray, then tear off big clumps of the sausage and arrange in the oil in a single layer. Arrange the garlic, onion and red peppers around the sausage. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until the sausage is browned on the bottom, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and add the beans, chicken stock, smoked paprika, escarole, juice from 1/2 lemon and salt. Gently toss together and place back in the oven for another 5 to 8 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  • Remove from the oven and stir again. The escarole should be half the size now and easier to mix in with the rest of the ingredients. Serve over the ditalini or rice. Garnish with some juice from the remaining lemon half and grated Parmesan. This would also be wonderful in a fresh hoagie roll.

PASTA WITH ESCAROLE, WHITE BEANS AND CHICKEN SAUASAGE



PASTA WITH ESCAROLE, WHITE BEANS AND CHICKEN SAUASAGE image

Categories     Pasta

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 pound whole-wheat bowtie (or other shape) pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 medium onion, chopped, about 1 cup
3 cloves garlic, minced
6 ounces lowfat Italian-style chicken sausage, casings removed, crumbled
1 medium head escarole, rinsed, drained and chopped, about 8 cups
1 (14-ounce) can low-sodium cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage leaves
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 ounce grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta according to the directions on the package. Heat the oil over a medium heat in a large, deep saute pan or 8-quart stockpot. Saute the onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook an additional 1 minute. Stir in the sausage and cook until heated through and browned, about 4 minutes. Add the escarole and cook until wilted, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the beans, 1 cup of chicken stock, sage and red pepper flakes and simmer until the mixture is heated through and liquid is slightly reduced. Add the sausage-bean mixture to pasta and toss well, loosening with the additional 1/2 cup chicken stock if necessary. Season with freshly ground pepper and salt, to taste. Divide among 4 pasta bowls and top with parmesan cheese.

Tips:

  • Use fresh escarole: Fresh escarole has a slightly bitter taste that pairs well with the other ingredients in this dish. If you can't find fresh escarole, you can use baby spinach or kale instead.
  • Cook the sausage thoroughly: Chicken sausage is a great way to add flavor and protein to this dish. Be sure to cook it thoroughly before adding it to the pasta.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. If you overcook the pasta, it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Add the escarole at the end of cooking: Escarole wilts quickly, so it's best to add it to the pasta at the end of cooking. This will help to preserve its flavor and texture.
  • Season to taste: This dish is simple, so it's important to season it to taste. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.

Conclusion:

This pasta dish is a delicious and easy way to enjoy escarole. The combination of escarole, white beans, and chicken sausage is flavorful and satisfying. This dish is also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. Serve it with a side salad and some crusty bread for a complete meal.
