This dish was very simple and very yummy. It is adapted from The Art of Simple Food.
olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large bunch of kale, washed and chopped
1/2 pound fennel sausage (loose)
1 onion, diced
salt, pepper
pinch of dried chile flakes
3/4 pound rotini (or any similar sized pasta)
In a large pot heat the olive oil over medium heat, add the garlic and saute until slightly browned, add the kale and a little bit of water, cover and cook until kale is tender, stirring occasionally.
In the meantime, in another heavy bottom pot, over medium heat saute the sausage, breaking apart, until browned. Remove from pot, and add onions. Saute until softened and caramelized (a bit). Season with the salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Add the cooked greens, and toss well.
Cook the pasta as you usually would. Drain and toss with a little olive oil, salt and pepper. Plate the pasta and top with the greens and sausage. Add some parmesan if you want. Yum!
