WHITE BEAN, TOMATO AND SAUSAGE ORECCHIETTE

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the orecchiette according to package instructions.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with the back of a spoon, until it starts to brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the sausage to a bowl with a slotted spoon, leaving all the oil in the skillet.
• Add the onions to the oil and cook until they start to soften and turn translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic to the skillet and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to blister and split, about 4 minutes. Add salt and pepper.
• Add the beans and return the sausage to the skillet. Cook until warmed through. Add the pasta and toss until it is completely coated. Add the Parmesan in batches, stirring to incorporate and letting it melt before more is added. Stir in the basil.
• Plate the pasta and top with more Parmesan and basil. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add butter and oil. Once the butter is melted, add the onion and garlic. Cook until the onion is starting to get soft.
• Turn the temp up to medium high and add the pancetta, cook until crispy. Remove the casings from the sausage then add to skillet and brown. Pour in the wine and scrape up those delicious browned bits.
• Toss in the mushrooms and stirring occasionally, cook till they are slightly softened.
• Add the tomatoes (any extra juices too), basil and oregano, and salt to taste, and stir to combine. Turn heat to low, cover and simmer for one to two hours, stirring occasionally.
• While the sauce is simmering, cook the pasta (make sure you have good salty water) until just al-dente. Drain the pasta, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water (DO NOT RINSE).
• Back to the skillet -- add the spinach and cook till it begins to wilt. Then toss in the pasta and stir to combine everything -- stir frequently until everything is heated through. (add some reserved pasta water if the sauce seems too thick)
