Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound Italian sausage casings removed
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/4 pound button mushrooms sliced
  • 1 can peeled 28oz or 800ml, crushed tomatoes
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 bunch of kale about 4 cups, stems removed, chopped
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1 pound farfalle pasta
  • grated Parmesan cheese for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • In another large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until golden, breaking it into bite-sized pieces. Remove the sausage from the pot using a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • Add the onion and garlic to the same pot and cook for few minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes more, until onions and mushrooms begin to brown. Add the canned crushed tomatoes with all the juice, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and the sausage.
  • Meanwhile, blanch the kale in the salted boiling water for 5 minutes. Remove it using a slotted spoon and add straight to the mushroom-tomato-sausage mixture. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. Lastly, stir in the heavy cream and remove from heat.
  • While the sauce is simmering, cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain, add to the sauce and toss to combine.
  • Sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top and serve. Enjoy!
