Adapted from Southern Living. The type of sausage you need is the kind that comes in a long link that you can slice into thin rounds. You may use any flavor of smoked sausage you like - you may even use a chicken or turkey sausage if you prefer.

Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb spicy smoked sausage, sliced into rounds (such as a spicy Kielbasa)
1 (8 ounce) package fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons olive oil, as needed
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen collard greens, chopped, thawed, drained very well
1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans chunky tomatoes seasoned with basil garlic & oregano, undrained
1 lb penne pasta, cooked & drained
freshly grated parmesan cheese, to taste

Steps:

  • Prepare pasta according to package directions and plan to have it cooked& ready to go by the end of the cooking process.
  • Brown sausage slices in a large deep pot until browned on each side; remove sausage slices from the pan and drain off any fat.
  • Add oil to the same pot, heat over medium briefly, then add garlic and mushrooms, stirring constantly until mushrooms are tender (be careful not to burn the garlic)- this will take only a few minutes.
  • Return the sausage slices to the pan along with collards, Italian seasoning, and tomatoes with their juices.
  • Cook, stirring as needed, for about 10 minutes.
  • Add the cooked pasta and toss well.
  • Serve with grated Parmesan cheese sprinkled over each serving to taste.
