Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 ½ cups farro quick-cooking
  • 2 ½ cups low-sodium fat-free chicken broth
  • 2 Italian chicken sausage cut into half-circles, precooked
  • 1 ½ teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 ½ cups grape tomatoes
  • 1 ½ cups arugula packed
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper ground
  • teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese grated

Instructions

  1. Combine the farro and chicken broth in a medium saucepan. Cook according to package directions. Fluff with a fork and drain, reserving the liquid.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Add 2 additional tablespoons of the reserved cooking liquid and stir in the farro, cooked sausage and arugula.
  6. Transfer the farro to a serving dish and top with the Parmesan cheese.
