Yield 6 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 ounces uncooked orecchiette or small tube pasta (about 2-1/2 cups)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 pound bulk Italian sausage
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1 medium fennel bulb, chopped
1/2 pound baby portobello mushrooms, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to package directions for al dente. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook sausage and red onion until no longer pink, 3-4 minutes, breaking into crumbles. Add fennel, mushrooms and garlic; cook until tender, 6-8 minutes. Add Swiss chard; cook and stir until wilted, 4-5 minutes longer., Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup pasta water. In a large bowl, combine pasta, sausage mixture, salt, pepper and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, adding enough reserved pasta water to coat pasta and create a creamy texture.

I made this last night and it was delicious! I used a different type of pasta, but it still turned out great. I will definitely be making this again.

This was a great recipe! I used ground turkey instead of sausage and it was still very good. I also added some chopped mushrooms and they really added a nice flavor.

I'm not a huge fan of Swiss chard, but this recipe was really good. The sausage and Swiss chard paired well together and the pasta was cooked perfectly.

This was a great recipe! I used whole wheat pasta and it was still very good. I also added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes and they really added a nice flavor. Thanks for sharing!
