Spicy Baked Penne with Sausage and Chard
With three young children, Wendy Skidmore relies on dishes that are simple, quick, and use ingredients she typically has on hand. This tasty baked penne is a good example.
How to Make It
Step 1
In a 5- to 6-quart pan over high heat, bring about 4 quarts water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender to bite, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain.
Step 2
Pour oil into the same pan over medium-high heat. Add sausage and garlic and stir, breaking apart with spoon, until sausage is crumbled and brown, about 10 minutes.
Step 3
Add chard and stir until wilted, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes with juice, salt, pepper, and cooked pasta. Pour mixture into a 2- to 2 1/2-quart baking dish. Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan cheeses over the top.
Step 4
Bake in a 350° oven until cheese is browned and bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes.

What a fabulous way to incorporate chard! My family devoured this dish. I used a lean chicken sausage - hot italian-style and mixed in half the cheese as KendrainNC did. Delicious.

This was great! I used elbow noodles b/c it's what I had on hand, and mixed half the cheese blend in with the pasta and topped it with the other half. Will make again!
