pasta w/ sausage & grapes

It tastes as odd as it sounds - but in a totally delicious way. Who knew?! Here's what you'll need:

• 6 ounces mild Italian sausage, cut into 1-inch chunks
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 small red onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups seedless red grapes, halved
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoon grated Parmesan
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• Pasta of your choice (I used fettuccine in the picture above)

In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat, stirring and breaking up, until well browned, about 15 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a paper towel.

Add oil to the same skillet and return to medium heat. Cook the onion and garlic with 1/4 teaspoon salt, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the grapes, broth and pepper flakes and increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until grapes soften or burst and liquid thickens, about 10 minutes. Return sausage to skillet and stir and turn off heat. When the pasta is ready, add to the skillet, and turn on heat to high. Cook, stirring, until sausage is hot and pasta is coated with sauce, about a minute. Serve sprinkled with Parmesan and parsley.
