Sausage, Kale, and Bean Pasta

November 8, 2013 by Julie 1 Comment

I should have added the 7th reason to my why I love fall post yesterday.

Cooking!

This fall has brought back my desire to actually cook dinner.

Sausage, Kale, and Bean Pasta

Sausage, Kale, and Bean Pasta

Recipe adapted from Everyday Foods, Oct 2013

Ingredients

1/2 pound orecchiette pasta
3/4 pound Italian sausage meat
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 can Great Northern Beans
5 cups kale
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
salt & pepper, to taste
lemon juice
olive oil

Instructions

Cook the pasta; then drain.

In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add sausage and cook until opaque, breaking up meat with a spoon. Add the minced garlic to the sausage and cook for 30 seconds. Drain & rinse your beans and add them to the skillet. Cook for 3 minutes.

Add your shredded kale to the skillet and wilt. Add your cooked pasta to the skillet mixture. Season with salt & pepper. Add your Parmesan cheese.

Plate your pasta & drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice.

Serve & enjoy!

Serves 4

***Notes: I used sweet Italian sausage, but next time I’m trying spicy to give this dish a kick.
You could also substitute out the kale for spinach.
You could add some of the pasta water to the dish too to make it a soup. I would recommend this option for leftovers. The pasta was great served immediately. Leftovers were a bit dry though, so adding pasta water…or some chicken stock helps.

    That sounds delish! One of my favorite go-to meals is a mush of kale, beans, and tomatoes, so you gave me the idea to add some sausage to that, too!
