Pasta With Sausage and Arugula

Pasta with Sausage and Arugula

There’s a really tiny restaurant Jeff and I go to from time to time.

It’s called “Non Solo Polli” (not only chickens).

The front of the building is a walk-up rotisserie chicken place.

By the way, the Italians make amazing rotisserie chicken.  I will probably never try to re-create their rotisserie chickens.  I’m positive my attempts won’t achieve the deliciousness level of their chickens.  More importantly, I have no desire to splatter my oven with chicken grease when I can walk up the street and buy one of those beauties for 7 euros.

So the backside of this rotisserie chicken place houses the cozy, tiny restaurant.  We love it.

On our most recent visit, I ordered the “Pasta Non Solo Polli” and ate every last bite.  I could not wait to to re-create it at home.

This Pasta with Sausage is a dish that looks fancy, but is very simple and takes only a few minutes to throw together.  I think there’s probably room for some mushrooms in this dish, but I wanted to keep it simple.

Here you go — sausage, cream, parmesan and arugula!

Enjoy!

This Pasta with Sausage and Arugula is very easy to prepare and makes a beautiful presentation. I prefer to use spicy Italian sausage for extra flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 Pound Italian sausage, casings removed (My family prefers the flavor of spicy Italian sausage)
  • 2-1/2 Cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup parmesan
  • 3 Generous handfuls fresh arugula
  • 1 Pound dried pasta, cooked to al dente
  • salt and pepper to taste

Note

I tried this Pasta with Sausage and Arugula for the first time at a tiny restaurant near our house.  The bold flavors of the spicy Italian sausage and arugula are all the seasonings you need for this dish.  I prefer a pasta called "Casarecce," but any pasta of your choosing will work.  I think you'll like this and hope you make Pasta with Sausage and Arugula a frequent star at your dinner table.

Enjoy!
