How to Make Penne With Collards Sausage And Mushrooms
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add penne pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
- While pasta cooks, brown the sausage slices in a large, deep skillet over medium heat until browned on all sides. Remove sausage and set aside, reserving any rendered fat in the pan.
- Add olive oil to the skillet. Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Sauté over medium heat, stirring frequently, until mushrooms are tender (about 5-7 minutes).
- Return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Add the chopped collard greens, Italian seasoning, and canned tomatoes with their juices.
- Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until collard greens are tender and the sauce has slightly thickened. Stir occasionally.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to loosen it.
- Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese to taste.
