Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil


6 ounces sweet or hot Italian turkey sausage, casings removed


12 ounces cherry tomatoes or multicolor cherry tomatoes, halved if very large


1 cup chopped yellow onion


6 small garlic cloves, thinly sliced


¼ cup dry white wine


2 ½ cups unsalted chicken stock


½ teaspoon black pepper


8 ounces whole-grain spaghetti noodles, broken in half


5 ounces baby arugula


2 tablespoons red wine vinegar


2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil


¼ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese


Directions

Step 1

Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high. Add sausage, and cook, stirring often to break into pieces, until sausage is barely pink, about 4 minutes. Add tomatoes, onion, and garlic, and cook, stirring often, until vegetables are softened, about 4 more minutes. Add wine, and cook until reduced by half, about 2 minutes, scraping bottom of Dutch oven to release any browned bits. Add chicken stock and pepper, and bring to a boil. Add broken pasta, and stir, making sure pasta is mostly submerged. Reduce heat to medium; cover and cook until pasta is al dente, about 7 minutes.


Step 2

Remove from heat, and stir in arugula and vinegar. Toss until arugula is wilted, about 1 minute. Spoon 1 1/2 cups into each of 4 bowls, and top each bowl with basil and 1 tablespoon of cheese.
