Sausage Collard Greens Peppers Pasta Recipe

From time to time, we have those days when we forget to plan for dinner and decide just to wing it.  I created this dish from just that experience. I prefer collard greens frozen instead of cooking them from scratch. They taste better and save me some work at dinnertime.  So, I decided to pull all my veggies from the freezer today.  Here's how I made this Sausage, Collard Greens, and Peppers Pasta Recipe. I hope you enjoy it.

Sausage Collard Greens Pasta Ingredients:

6 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
4 cups Egg Noodles
One garlic clove
14 oz mild pork sausage remove casing (chicken or turkey sausage works too)
1 tablespoon parsley (dried)
8 oz multi-color frozen peppers (blend pack)
4 cups Collard greens (Frozen and cut)
2 tablespoon Butter or Alternative butter spread

Instructions:

Step 1: Boil chicken broth and water, then add egg noodles as per package. Reserve ½ cup of broth/water mixture before draining the pasta. 

Step 2: In a large skillet, add 1 tablespoon butter and then add garlic until fragrant. Don't let the butter and garlic burn.

Step 3: Add the sausage and break the sausage mixture into small pieces until lightly brown. It doesn't need to be fully cooked.

Step 4: The next step in this Sausage Collard Greens Peppers Pasta Recipe is to add the frozen peppers until cooked through but not browned about 3 minutes. Make sure the frozen peppers are not frozen before starting the next step.

Step 5: Then add the frozen collard greens until cooked through but not browned, about 3 minutes.

Step 6: Cook for another few minutes until the liquid disappears. It should not have little to no liquid at the bottom, and the collard greens should be warm.

Step 7: Add the drained pasta, keep ½ cup of broth/water to use, and toss. Let cook for 3 minutes.

Step 8: Sprinkle Pecorino Romano cheese on top and serve warm.
