The record-setting rains of May have ended. We’re starting to catch up with outdoor chores of mowing, shredding, and hopefully tilling and planting later this week as the soil dries out. Last week the rain kept us inside catching up on routine maintenance of the tractor and website work.

Sausage and Penne Pasta
Ingredients:
1 box Penne Pasta
1 package Eckrich sausage links
1 Tablespoon crushed garlic
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 bunch Swiss chard or kale
grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions:
Cook and drain pasta. Meanwhile, slice sausage and brown in skillet with olive oil and garlic. Wash greens and tear into smaller pieces if necessary. Add greens to sausage a little at a time (they will cook down so you can continue adding more). You may need to add a little more olive oil as you add the greens. Add sausage and greens to pasta. Salt to taste. Sprinkle with Parmesan after serving.
