Pasta with Sausage and Arugula image

Arugula is one of those rare salad greens we can also get down with hot, like when it's tossed with pasta, piled on top of pizza, or scattered into stew.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 small red onions, sliced into 1/2"-thick wedges
1 fennel bulb, sliced into 1/2"-thick wedges
6 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
8 oz. hot or sweet Italian sausage (about 2 links), casings removed
10 oz. gemelli, casarecce, or other medium pasta
1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
6 cups baby arugula
Finely grated Parmesan (for serving)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss onions, fennel, and 2 Tbsp. oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Spread out into a single layer. Pinch sausage into small pieces and scatter around onions and fennel. Roast until vegetables and sausage are cooked through and well browned, 25-30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta cooking liquid.
  • Combine vegetables, sausage, and pasta in a large bowl. Add lemon zest, lemon juice, remaining 4 Tbsp. oil, and 1/4 cup reserved pasta cooking liquid and toss to coat, adding more pasta cooking liquid if needed, until sauce comes together and coats pasta. Toss in arugula.
  • Divide pasta among plates and top with Parmesan. Season with more salt and pepper.

I'm not a big fan of arugula, but I thought it worked well in this dish.

The arugula wilted too much for my taste. I think I'll add it at the end of cooking next time.

This dish was a little too spicy for me, but I think that's because I used a spicy sausage. Next time I'll use a milder sausage.

I added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the sauce and it gave it a nice extra flavor.

This pasta dish is a great way to use up leftover sausage. I had some Italian sausage in the fridge and this recipe was the perfect way to use it up.
