sausage + greens pasta

a quick and go-to pasta that we have for dinner all the time.

sausage and greens pasta
makes 8 servings

1 lb pasta shapes
olive oil
1 lb italian or spicy sausage, crumbled
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 big handfuls of greens like spinach or arugula (sometimes I use chopped kale)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Cook the pasta in salted water until al dente.

While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in another large skillet and add the crumbled sausage and garlic. Cook over medium heat until the sausage is cooked through.

Add the greens and cook until barely wilted, then add the pasta and cheese and stir until all is combined and gooey.

Taste, and add any extra salt and pepper, if needed.

Serve with extra cheese.
