Pasta with Sausage and Leeks
1 lb. pork sausage (like Jimmy Dean)
3 lbs. leeks, white and light green parts only, cut into slices
1/2 -1 c white wine
2 T unsalted butter
coarse salt and ground pepper
box of small pasta shells or bow ties
shaved Parmesan
In a large skillet, cook sausages over medium-high, breaking up meat with a spoon, until browned. Transfer leeks to sausage in skillet and cook until softened, 5 minutes. Add wine and cook, stirring frequently, until mostly evaporated. Stir in butter and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 c pasta water. Drain pasta, return to pot, along with sausage mixture, and toss to combine. Add enough pasta water to create a light sauce that coats the pasta. Toss to combine and serve with Parmesan.
this one looks delish! colorful and fresh and spring-y! will try soon :)
