Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons olive oil
½ onion, diced
salt to taste
8 ounces spicy Italian sausages, casings removed
3 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth, divided, or as needed
1 ¼ cups orecchiette pasta, or more to taste
½ cup roughly chopped arugula, or to taste
¼ cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion with a pinch of salt in hot oil until onion is soft and golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir sausage into onions; cook and stir until sausage is broken up and browned, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Pour 1 1/2 cups chicken broth into sausage mixture and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add orecchiette pasta; cook and stir pasta in hot broth, adding remaining broth when liquid is absorbed, until pasta is cooked through and most of the broth is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
  • Stir arugula into pasta-sausage mixture until arugula wilts. Ladle pasta into bowls and dust with Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 ounces orecchiette
1 can (15.5 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
2 tablespoons tomato paste
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 6-inch sprig rosemary
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more for serving
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (about 1 1/2 ounces), plus more for serving
2 cups baby arugula (about 2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Combine pasta, chickpeas, olives, tomato paste, garlic, rosemary, oil, pepper flakes, and 5 cups water in a large straight-sided skillet. Season generously with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until pasta is al dente and liquid is reduced to a sauce that coats pasta, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Remove skillet from heat, discard rosemary, and stir in cheese. Add more water, a few tablespoons at a time, to thin sauce if necessary. Divide pasta and arugula among bowls and serve immediately, drizzled with oil and sprinkled with cheese and pepper flakes.

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven to ensure that the orecchiette has enough room to cook evenly.
  • Sear the sausage until it is browned on all sides to develop flavor.
  • Add the orecchiette to the skillet and stir to coat it in the sausage fat.
  • Add the chicken broth, water, and salt to the skillet and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the orecchiette is tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the kale and cook until it is wilted, about 2 minutes.
  • Serve the orecchiette immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.

Conclusion:

This one-pan orecchiette pasta is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover sausage and kale. The orecchiette is cooked in a flavorful broth with sausage, kale, and parmesan cheese. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
