Willy and Sandy Hermann, readers from Orinda, California, shared this easy one-dish meal with us. They like to use hot sausage, but mild is good too. You can use the chard stems for soup if you like. Ingredients:
12 ounces whole-wheat or regular linguine |
12 ounces hot italian sausages, casings removed |
1/2 cup chopped onion |
2 large garlic cloves, chopped |
1 bunch swiss chard, stems discarded and leaves chopped |
4 roma or medium beefsteak tomatoes, seeded and chopped |
1/2 cup whipping cream |
1/4 cup slivered fresh basil leaves |
shaved parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, heat a large, wide pot over medium heat. Cook sausage, onion, and garlic, stirring frequently, until sausage starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Add chard and tomatoes and cook, covered, until chard wilts, about 4 minutes. Stir in cream.
2. Put drained pasta in a large, shallow serving bowl. Pour sausage and chard mixture over pasta and sprinkle with basil and parmesan cheese.
