CHICKPEA PASTA WITH SAUSAGE AND ESCAROLE



Chickpea Pasta with Sausage and Escarole image

Gluten-free pastas are tastiest with olive oil-based pan sauces that don't thicken too much, which can make the pasta feel gummy. Pasta with chickpeas and greens is a classic dish from the Puglia region of Italy. In our riff with chickpea pasta, we added sausage to complement the earthy flavors of the greens and noodles.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Kosher salt
One 8-ounce box dried chickpea penne
1/4 cup olive oil
8 ounces sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
1 small red onion, thickly sliced
1 medium head escarole, trimmed and coarsely chopped
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 cup grated Pecorino Romano

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente, 1 to 2 minutes shy of the package directions. Reserve 1 1/4 cups pasta water, then drain.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Crumble in the sausage and cook until no longer pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the onion and cook until golden and wilted, about 4 minutes.
  • Add the escarole, red pepper flakes and 1/2 cup pasta cooking water. Cover and cook until the escarole has just wilted, 3 to 4 minutes. Increase the heat to reduce the liquid in the skillet and thicken it slightly, about 1 minute.
  • Add the pasta to the simmering sauce and drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Toss well, adding a little more of the reserved pasta water if it seems dry. Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and Pecorino, toss and serve immediately.

PASTA WITH SPICY SAUSAGE, BROCCOLI RABE AND CHICKPEAS



Pasta With Spicy Sausage, Broccoli Rabe and Chickpeas image

In this hearty weeknight pasta recipe, chickpeas contribute an earthy, nutty flavor to the classic combination of sausage and broccoli rabe. The addition of Parmesan, butter, and lemon juice just before serving balances the heat from the sausage with a bit of richness, creating a bright and flavorful sauce in the process. This pasta is incredibly versatile: You can use any sturdy greens or even broccoli in place of the broccoli rabe, and feel free to swap in whatever pasta shape and canned beans you have on hand. You can even substitute sweet Italian sausage or ground pork or turkey for the sausage in a pinch; add about 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes to give this dish its spicy kick.

Categories     dinner, easy, weeknight, beans, meat, pastas, vegetables, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt and black pepper
1 1/2 pounds broccoli rabe or broccoli, chopped, tough stems discarded, or hearty greens like kale or escarole
1 pound shaped pasta, such as campanelle or orecchiette
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound hot Italian sausage, casings removed, or sweet Italian sausage, ground pork or turkey
3 garlic cloves, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken stock
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas or other white beans, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup grated Parmesan or pecorino, plus more for serving
1 lemon, zested and juiced

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Roughly chop the broccoli rabe, add it to the pot, and cook for 3 minutes. Use a sieve or slotted spoon to lift the broccoli rabe from the water and place it in a colander to drain.
  • Bring the water back to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente, reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain pasta.
  • Meanwhile, in a large Dutch oven or deep, 12-inch skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. (Don't worry if the sausage is not completely cooked through.) Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Add the wine and cook, scraping any bits from the bottom of the pan, until the wine is reduced by half, about 1 minute.
  • Add the broccoli rabe, chickpeas, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the sausage is cooked through and the broccoli rabe is very tender, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the pasta and 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water, toss well, and cook over low heat until the sauce comes together, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add additional pasta water, a few tablespoons at a time, if needed for moisture.
  • Remove the pan from the heat, add the butter, Parmesan, lemon zest and lemon juice, and toss until the butter is melted. Divide pasta among shallow bowls and top with additional cheese sprinkled on top.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your dish taste its best. Look for plump, juicy sausages, tender chickpeas, and crisp vegetables.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the ingredients won't cook evenly. Cook the ingredients in batches if necessary.
  • Season the dish well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of salt and pepper. You can also add other spices and herbs to taste.
  • Don't overcook the dish: Overcooked sausage and vegetables will be tough and chewy. Cook the dish until the sausage is browned and the vegetables are tender but still have a bit of a bite.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served hot out of the skillet. You can garnish it with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.

Conclusion:

This sausage and chickpea skillet is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's packed with protein, fiber, and flavor, and it's sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a simple and satisfying meal, give this sausage and chickpea skillet a try. You won't be disappointed!
