Ingredients
6 links, hot Italian turkey sausage16 oz mustard greens, washed, de-ribbed and torn into large pieces12 lg garlic cloves, roughly chopped1/2 t red pepper flakes5 T olive oil4 cups chicken or turkey stock (mine was homemade and salt- free)1/2 c parmesan cheese (I used chopped up rinds I'd saved)salt to taste (you don't need much)
Directions
Remove casings from sausage. Heat 2 tsp olive oil and brown in pan. Break into bite size bits. (You will need less oil for regular sausage.) Drain and set aside.

Heat 4 T olive oil in large pan. Add garlic & red pepper, stir and heat til fragrant (1-2 min). Add greens in batches, turning over, until wilted (3-5 min). Add chicken/turkey stock and sausage. Add parmesan rinds (opt, but delicious). Simmer 10-15 minutes while pasta cooks.

If sauce lacks liquid, add pasta water.

This will not thicken--it's a brothy sauce. You can add 2 pkgs (13.25 oz) of rotini or, as I do, freeze it in individual servings and make pasta fresh. Serve with freshly grated parmesan.

Serving Size: Makes 12 1/2-c servings to go with 1 c pasta
