Great comfort food. I grew up on this. The only thing I do different is wilt the escarole in olive oil and garlic rather than boil it. My mom cooks the sausage first in the pan with oil and garlic then adds the escarole to the pan (without draining the grease!) to wilt. She also sometimes cooks potato cubes with the sausage. Thanks for posting this.

I live in Western New York, on Lake Ontario. Great cultural, food, and touring area. For fun, we go "wandering" to the Finger Lakes area for lunch and "junk hunts".
I retired after 15 years as a travel agent, but I'm very busy with family and friends.
Favorite cookbook: 'American Century' by Jean Anderson. Great reference book! I love to read cookbooks, and can't pass up a chance to get "just one more".
I now work part time for the Canadian American Transportation System, also known as the "Fast Ferry", or "The Breeze" that goes between Rochester NY and Toronto. It's a gorgeous ship, and a cool job!
