Spicy Sausage and Greens
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves crushed or minced garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 1/2 - 1lb spicy chicken sausage casings removed
- your favorite marinara sauce
- 1 bunch kale, stems removed and torn into small pieces
- Orecchiette or Penne pasta
- freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Sauté garlic in olive oil in a wide sauté pan over medium heat, watching to make sure it doesn't burn. Just as it begins to look golden and smell fragrant, add chili flakes and fennel seeds.
- A minute later, add the Italian chicken sausage removed from the casing, breaking it up into smaller pieces with the back of a spoon. After about seven minutes, the sausage should be nicely browned. Reduce the heat slightly and add about 2 cups of marinara. Let the flavors meld while it simmers, for about ten minutes. Then toss in 2 cups of torn kale. Cook until the kale is tender.
- Add a splash of pasta water to the sauce before tossing with pasta. Add the Parmesan cheese.
