• 1 (14-ounce) can fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth, divided
• 4 quarts water
• 1 (13.5-ounce) package uncooked whole wheat blend rotini (corkscrew pasta)
• Cooking spray
• 1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onion (about 1 large)
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 pound hot turkey Italian sausage
• 8 ounces bagged prewashed cut mustard greens
• 1/2 cup half-and-half
• 1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated fresh pecorino Romano cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Preparation

1. Place 1/2 cup broth in a small saucepan over medium heat; simmer until reduced to 3 tablespoons (about 6 minutes). Remove from heat.
2. Combine water and remaining broth in a large Dutch oven. Bring to a boil over high heat; stir in pasta. Cook, uncovered, 10 minutes or until al dente. Drain well; place pasta in a large bowl. Keep warm.
3. Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add onion; cook 4 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Add garlic; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly.
