Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
½ onion, diced
salt to taste
8 ounces spicy Italian sausages, casings removed
3 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth, divided, or as needed
1 ¼ cups orecchiette pasta, or more to taste
½ cup roughly chopped arugula, or to taste
¼ cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, or to taste

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion with a pinch of salt in hot oil until onion is soft and golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir sausage into onions; cook and stir until sausage is broken up and browned, 5 to 7 minutes.
Pour 1 1/2 cups chicken broth into sausage mixture and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add orecchiette pasta; cook and stir pasta in hot broth, adding remaining broth when liquid is absorbed, until pasta is cooked through and most of the broth is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
Stir arugula into pasta-sausage mixture until arugula wilts. Ladle pasta into bowls and dust with Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.

Tips:

Use good quality sausage. Look for sausage that is made with fresh, ground pork and has a nice balance of spices.
Don't overcook the sausage. Sausage is best when it is cooked through but still juicy. Overcooked sausage will be dry and tough.
Use a good quality pasta. Look for pasta that is made with durum wheat and has a nice al dente texture.
Don't overcook the pasta. Pasta is best when it is cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and bland.
Use fresh arugula. Arugula has a peppery flavor that pairs well with the sausage and pasta. Wilted arugula will not have as much flavor.
Add some grated Parmesan cheese to the pasta before serving. Parmesan cheese will add a nutty flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Pasta with sausage and arugula is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. This dish is perfect for a busy family or anyone who is looking for a delicious and satisfying meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
