Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt
8 ounces whole-wheat penne
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 hot or regular Italian sausage links (about 4 ounces), casings removed
1/2 onion, thinly sliced
1 bunch rainbow Swiss chard, roughly chopped (stems and leaves separated)
1 bunch rainbow Swiss chard, roughly chopped (stems and leaves separated)
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
1 14-ounce can cherry tomatoes
Freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup grated pecorino romano or parmesan cheese (about 2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add the onion and chard stems; cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the tomatoes start breaking apart, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the chard leaves to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start wilting, about 3 minutes. Add the pasta, the reserved cooking water and 1/4 cup cheese; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Top each serving with the remaining cheese.

I'm not sure why, but I just couldn't get the flavors right in this dish. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't taste good.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pasta turned out really dry. I think I might have added too much flour.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think it would be perfect for someone who likes a little heat.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover sausage and Swiss chard. I also like that it's a one-pot meal.

I made a few changes to this recipe and it turned out great! I used ground turkey instead of sausage, and I added some sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts.

This recipe was a disaster! The pasta was overcooked, the sausage was dry, and the Swiss chard was limp.

I thought this dish was just okay. The sausage was a bit too greasy for my taste, and the Swiss chard didn't add much flavor.
