Hearty ingredients load this quick Italian dinner with spicy, cheesy flavor. Adapted from Ingredients:
3 tablespoons olive oil |
1/2 lb hot italian turkey sausage, casings discarded and sausage crumbled |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 small onion, diced |
1 lb kale, tough stems and center ribs discarded and leaves coarsely chopped |
1/2 lb penne |
2/3 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth |
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Add garlic, onion and sausage, breaking up any lumps with a spoon, until browned, 5 to 7 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, blanch kale in a 6-quart pot of boiling salted water, uncovered, 5 minutes. Remove kale with a large sieve and drain. Return cooking water in pot to a boil, then cook pasta in boiling water, uncovered, until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta-cooking water, then drain pasta in a colander.
3. While pasta cooks, add kale to sausage in skillet and sauté, stirring frequently, until just tender, about 5 minutes. Add broth, stirring and scraping up any brown bits from bottom of skillet, then add pasta and 1/2 cup reserved cooking water to skillet, tossing until combined. Stir in cheese and thin with additional cooking water if desired.
4. Serve immediately, with additional cheese on the side.
