Number Of Ingredients 7

Salt and pepper
3/4 pound orecchiette
1 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 pound sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
1 pound parsnips, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch rounds (halved if large)
1 bunch Swiss chard, tough stems and ribs removed, thinly sliced
1/2 cup grated Parmesan (2 ounces), plus more for serving

Steps:

  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta, according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain pasta and return to pot.
  • In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add sausage and cook, breaking meat up with a wooden spoon, until browned, 3 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer sausage to pot. Add parsnips to skillet and saute until softened and browned, 5 minutes. Add chard and cook until wilted, 2 minutes. Transfer mixture to pot and toss. Add Parmesan and enough pasta water to create a light sauce that coats pasta; season with salt and pepper. Serve with additional Parmesan.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less red pepper flakes next time.

The chard in this dish was a bit too bitter for me. I think I'll try using spinach next time.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The sausage and parsnips are hearty and filling, while the chard adds a nice pop of color and freshness.

This was a quick and easy weeknight meal. I used pre-cooked sausage and pre-shredded chard to save time, and it still turned out great.

I'm not a huge fan of chard, but I really enjoyed this dish. The sweetness of the parsnips and the saltiness of the sausage balanced out the bitterness of the chard perfectly.
