Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups quick-cooking farro
- 2 ½ cups low-sodium fat-free chicken broth
- 2 precooked Italian chicken sausages cut into half-circles
- 1 ½ teaspoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 ½ cups grape tomatoes
- 1 ½ cups packed arugula
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Combine the farro and chicken broth in a medium saucepan. Cook according to package directions. Fluff with a fork and drain, reserving the liquid.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and coat with cooking spray. Add the sausages and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sausages are starting to brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer the sausages to a bowl.
- Heat the olive oil in the same skillet. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 15 seconds. Add the tomatoes and cook for 1 minute.
- Add ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons of the reserved farro cooking liquid, cover and reduce the heat to medium. Cook until the tomatoes are softened, about 3 minutes. Press the tomatoes with the back of a wooden spoon so that they burst.
- Add 2 additional tablespoons of the reserved cooking liquid and stir in the farro, cooked sausage and arugula.
- Transfer the farro to a serving dish and top with the Parmesan cheese.
