Washing Up
Last night I experimented with something a little different, & really enjoyed it.
Our local market had gorgeous large fresh heads of escarole that were irresistable, so picked one up. In a goodly amount of extra-virgin olive oil, I sauteed & sliced into bite-size pieces some hot Italian turkey sausages. Then thoroughly washed & roughly chopped the whole head of escarole & sauteed it in the pan with the sausage till just wilted, along with several cloves of chopped garlic. Finished by adding one can of drained & rinsed Cannelini beans & a couple of dashes of crushed red pepper flakes, & stirred gently until all was heated through. Tossed the whole shebang with a box of cooked Barilla spaghetti & enjoyed. Fast & delicious - the entire thing didn't take more than 30 minutes from chopping board to table.
