In this quick and easy spaghetti recipe, Italian sausage, Swiss chard, and sautéed cherry tomatoes add bold flavors.
Instructions
- 1In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the pasta to al dente according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- 2In a large, deep frying pan over medium-high heat, cook the sausage until browned. Transfer to a bowl, discarding any fat.
- 3Remove the ribs from the chard. Cut off and discard the bottom inch of the ribs, then finely chop the ribs. Roughly chop the leaves.
- 4In the frying pan, warm a glug of olive oil. Add the chard ribs and a sprinkle of salt and cook until nearly tender, about 5 minutes. Add the chard leaves and cook for 2 minutes, then add the cherry tomatoes. Add the lemon zest and juice and season with salt and pepper. Add the butter and stir until it melts and forms a velvety sauce.
- 5Add the pasta to the pan and stir and toss to coat the pasta with the sauce and warm it through, about 3 minutes. Serve with the Parmesan sprinkled over the top.
