For a vegetarian option, substitute the Italian sausage with plant-based sausage or sautéed mushrooms. To enhance the flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. Fresh basil or parsley, chopped, can be added as a garnish for extra freshness and visual appeal. Use a high-quality Parmesan cheese for the best flavor.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Tomatoes: Gently remove the grape tomatoes and halve them. Set aside to preserve their freshness. (Time: 2 minutes)
02
StepSauté Aromatics and Sausage: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and cooked sausage. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant and the sausage is lightly browned. (Time: 5 minutes)
03
StepWilt the Greens and Tomatoes: Introduce the mixed greens and halved grape tomatoes to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, allowing the greens to wilt slightly and the tomatoes to soften, releasing their sweet juices. (Time: 4 minutes)
