Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta with Sausage, Spinach, and White Beans-an easy, healthy pasta recipe that comes together quickly. Flavorful and filling!

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Main Course

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces whole wheat penne pasta
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces precooked chicken sausage links (I used Trader Joe's roasted garlic flavor, cut into bite-sized pieces)
1 can reduced-sodium white beans, rinsed and drained (I used Great Northern; cannellini or white kidney would work as well)
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
5 cups mixed tender greens (I used half arugula, half baby spinach)
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Chopped fresh herbs (for serving (parsley, basil, green onions, or anything you like or have on hand))

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta to al dente, according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking liquid, then drain the pasta and set aside.
  • In a large, deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high. Add the sausage and brown on all sides. Reduce the heat to medium, then add the white beans, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, salt and pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook until the beans are warmed through and the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the reserved pasta, then the spinach and arugula. If the pasta seems dry, add a little of the reserved pasta water to loosen it. Cook just until the greens wilt, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat and sprinkle with Parmesan and herbs. Enjoy warm.

Time 38m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, sliced, 2 tablespoons of oil reserved
1 pound Italian hot sausages, casings removed
2 (8-ounce) packages frozen artichoke hearts
2 large cloves garlic, chopped
1 3/4 cups chicken broth
