Pasta with chicken sausages and tomatoes
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, in a large shallow skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook, stirring, until fully cooked and lightly browned, for 10 to 12 minutes. Add the remaining oil, chard stems, artichokes, and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chard leaves and cook, stirring, for another 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add pasta to the boiling water and cook for 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook for 2 more minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking liquid and set aside. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Pour half of the reserved pasta liquid into a small bowl, add tomato paste, and mix well. Add this mixture, sausage and chard mixture, Parmesan cheese, basil, and red pepper flakes to the pot with the pasta. Stir well, adding more cooking liquid if needed. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
