Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground pepper
  • 1 1/4 oz parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 8 cups arugula
  • 12 oz whole wheat pasta
  • 3 1/2 links Italian turkey sausage

Directions

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  • Cook pasta until just tender, 9 to 11 minutes, or according to package directions.
  • Meanwhile, cook sausage in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in garlic, arugula (or spinach) and tomatoes.
  • Cook, stirring often, until the greens wilt and the tomatoes begin to break down, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat; cover and keep warm.
  • Combine 1/2 cup cheese, pepper and salt in a large bowl. Measure out 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid; drain the pasta.
  • Whisk the cooking liquid and oil into the cheese mixture; add the pasta and toss to combine. Serve the pasta topped with the sausage mixture and an extra sprinkle of cheese, if desired.
  • Note: for the biggest impact, make sure to use imported Italian cheese.
