Ingredients

1 pound casarecce or other short pasta
Kosher salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 pound spicy Italian sausage, casings removed
1 1/4 pounds radicchio, cored, coarsely chopped (about 7 cups)
1/2 cup thinly sliced drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain pasta, reserving 3/4 cup pasta cooking liquid; return pasta to pot.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Add onion and 1/4 tsp. salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes (do not brown). Add sausage and cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up sausage into small bits with a wooden spoon, until sausage is mostly cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add radicchio and 2 Tbsp. water. Cook, covered, until sausage is cooked through and radicchio is wilted, 3-5 minutes more.
Add tomatoes, sausage mixture, and 1/2 cup pasta cooking liquid to pot with pasta. Season with salt and pepper, toss to coat, and add remaining 1/4 cup pasta cooking liquid, if needed. Divide among serving plates and top with pepper.

Angel Hair Pasta with Sausage & Spinach image

You won't miss the marinara sauce once you taste this pasta dish flavored with chicken broth and Italian sausage. The sauce simmers away on its own, without much work on your part. My husband likes it so much that I make it twice a week. -Daphine Smith, Baytown, Texas
