Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your dish. Look for high-quality sausage, greens, and pasta.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the sausage, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the sausage from browning properly and will make it more likely to release grease.
  • Cook the greens until they are tender: The greens should be tender but still have a bit of a bite to them. Don't overcook them, or they will become mushy.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth that you use to cook the pasta will add flavor to the dish. Use a broth that is flavorful and that complements the other ingredients in the dish.
  • Season the dish to taste: Season the dish with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. Be careful not to overseason the dish, or it will be too salty.
  • Serve the dish immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and lose its flavor if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Penne with sausage and greens is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that the whole family will love.
