Quick, tasty and healthy! I added the escarole to the boiling pasta the last few minutes of cooking time instead of sauteeing with the sausage. Also, I reserved a cup of the cooking water once I drained it and added it to the mixture at the end. Cooked parsley- cheese sausage in some olive oil and then added a can of diced tomatoes along with the beans for added flavor. Sprinked in some freshly grated asiago cheese and then combined all with the pasta and escarole. Added extra cheese at the end - yum!

I am not an escarole lover, but since we got some with our CSA share, I needed to find a way to use it. I had a bunch of escarole, and one of dandelion greens, both very bitter. This recipe actually made them palatable. I'll turn to it again when I have greens that I don't know how else to use. I didn't have the beans on hand, so I just skipped them. I used hot sausage.

I have made this for years. It needs a little olive oil mixed into the drained pasta. Ziti is my pasta of choice. You can uses the fake soy sausage and nobody will know. Kale, chard, or any soft green leafy veg. will work. Sun dried tomatoes in oil are a nice touch. Instead of the parmesan, I sprinkle soft goat cheese or crumpled feta in at the end and toss. Yum!

Pretty easy, satisfying, and functional. You only need a little bit of sausage for flavor as the beans provide enough protein and bulk on their own.

I used to order this at Romeo's in Rochester, NY when traveling for business. This recipe is exactly what I ordered. My whole family loves this!

This was ok for a weeknight meal. I thought it was a little bland though. I used veggie sausage, so maybe that's why.

This was so easy, and the results were fantastic! I did add 1 can of drained diced Italian tomatoes for color, and used some chicken sausage I had on hand. My husband and I really enjoyed it, and it was so quick & healthy--thanks!

Perfect. Love it. Fast, simple and delicious. I used a chicken pesto sausage and added just a bit of extra broth after it was all done cooking. Thanks so much, I really enjoyed this dish.

This was great! I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, and no sausage because I'm vegetarian. The only thing was I thought it needed a bit more garlic and perhaps some crushed red pepper. Other than that, it was yum! My mom requested I make it again for her. Thanks!

I used chicken sausage and canned escarole in chicken broth. My husband loved it and even my 4 year old said it was excellent. Thank you - Will definitely make again!!

Excellent dish. I used 1 hot and 1 sweet italian sausage - nice kick, but not overly spicy. Didn't have to add or change a thing. I wish I'd served this with bread or garlic toast because we wanted to clean our plates!
