Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
8 ounces spicy Italian sausages, casings removed
3 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/4 cups dry orecchiette pasta
1/2 cup fresh arugula, roughly chopped
1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, grated
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté onions until translucent.
2. Add the crumbled sausage and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.
3. Pour in 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pan to release the fond.
4. Bring to a boil and stir in the dry orecchiette pasta.
5. Simmer while stirring, adding the remaining broth gradually as it is absorbed.
6. Cook for about 15 minutes until pasta is al dente and sauce has thickened.
7. Fold in the chopped arugula until just wilted.
8. Remove from heat and serve with a topping of grated Parmigiano-Reggiano.
Notes
Use high-quality spicy pork sausage for the best flavor profile.
Always grate your Parmesan fresh to ensure it melts smoothly into the sauce.
If the sauce thickens too much, add a splash of warm water before serving.
