Pasta Night!!!!

Turkey Sausage and Arugula Pasta from Eatingwell.com

Ingredients:
- 12 oz whole wheat short pasta (shells or twists)
- 8 oz hot Italian turkey or chicken sausage links, remove from casings
- 3 garlic cloves chopped
- 8 cups arugula or spinach
- 2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
- ½ cup finely shredded Pecorino Romano, or Parmesan cheese, plus more to taste
- 1 tsp freshly ground pepper
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Preparation:
1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook pasta until just tender, 9 to 11 minutes, or according to package directions.
2. Meanwhile, cook sausage in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, arugula (or spinach) and tomatoes. Cook, stirring often, until the greens wilt and the tomatoes begin to break down, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat; cover and keep warm.
3. Combine ½ cup cheese, pepper, and salt in a large bowl. Measure out ½ cup of cook liquid from the pasta and then drain. Whisk the cooking liquid and oil into the cheese mixture; add the pasta and toss to combine. Serve the pasta topped with the sausage mixture and an extra sprinkle of cheese, if desired.
