Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed or chopped
1/2 pound sweet or spicy Italian-style turkey sausage, casings removed
1 1/2 cups tomato-basil or marinara sauce
3 cups baby arugula or spinach leaves
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese (4 ounces), at room temperature
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
4 baked russet potatoes, 8 to 10 ounces each (see Cook's Note)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add the sausage and break up the meat into 1/2-inch pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the marinara sauce and arugula. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until the arugula has wilted, about 2 minutes. Add the mascarpone cheese and stir until the mixture forms a creamy sauce. Remove from the heat and stir in the Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cut a slit in the top of each baked potato and gently squeeze the ends to form an opening in the top. Spoon the sausage sauce into each potato. Garnish with parsley.
  • Cook's Note: To bake the potatoes: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Using a fork, prick the skins of the potatoes all over. Wrap each potato in foil and bake until tender, about 1 hour. To cook the potatoes in a microwave: Using a fork, prick the skins of the potatoes all over. Place 2 potatoes at a time on a dinner plate. Microwave on high for 8 minutes. Turn the potatoes over and microwave until soft, 6 to 8 more minutes.

This recipe was a total flop. The potatoes were mushy and the sausage was overcooked. The arugula sauce was also watery and bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste, but overall it was still good. The potatoes were cooked perfectly and the sausage was flavorful. I would recommend using less salt in the arugula sauce next time.

I'm not a big fan of arugula, but I still enjoyed this dish. The potatoes were cooked perfectly and the sausage was flavorful. I would recommend using a different type of sauce, such as a tomato sauce or a pesto sauce.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The potatoes were undercooked and the sausage was dry. The arugula sauce was also bland. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.
