Ingredients

1 lb. dry rigatoni noodles
2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
3 Tbsp. olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 and 1/4 lb. Italian turkey sausage, casings removed
10 oz. trimmed and chopped mustard greens
1/2 tsp. salt
1 pt. grape tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

Cook rigatoni according to package instructions, making sure to save 1/3 cup of cooking liquid prior to draining.
Whisk Dijon into reserved pasta liquid and set aside.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large saucepan over low heat. Add garlic. Cook to infuse oil with flavor, 2-3 minutes.
Increase heat to medium-high and add sausage. Use a wooden spoon to break it up. Cook stirring occasionally until cooked through, 5 minutes.
Add mustard greens, 1/3 at a time, allowing them to wilt and make space before adding next addition. Stir in salt and cook stirring occasionally until greens are fully wilted, 3 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and the Dijon mixture. Stir to heat through. Toss with cooked pasta.
Serve topped with Parmesan cheese.
