Ingredients:

Serving

1 14- to 15-oz head of escarole , cut crosswise into 1-inch-wide ribbons (about 10 cups)
8 oz medium pasta shells (about 3 1/2 cups)
4 tsp olive oil
10 oz sweet italian turkey sausage (about 3 links), casings removed
1 large red onion , cut through root end into thin wedges
3/4 tsp fennel seeds, crushed
3 tbsp thinly sliced drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
3 tbsp grated pecorino romano cheese

Directions:

Cook escarole ribbons in large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer escarole to strainer and drain, keeping water boiling. Add pasta shells to boiling water; cook pasta shells until just tender, stirring occasionally. Ladle out 1/2 cup cooking water; reserve. Drain pasta shells; return to pot.
Meanwhile, heat 1 teaspoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage; sauté until cooked through, breaking up with fork, about 5 minutes. Add remaining oil, onion, and fennel seeds; sauté until onion is almost tender, about 6 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, escarole, and reserved 1/2 cup cooking water; simmer until heated through, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Add sausage mixture to pasta; toss. Transfer to bowl. Sprinkle with cheese.
