Kosher salt
8 ounces penne
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 ounces sweet Italian sausage, casings removed (about 2 links)

Pasta With Kale, Shiitake Mushrooms and Sausage image

Kale, shiitakes and sausage bring a deep earthiness to this quick weeknight recipe, which David Latt shared with The Times in 2008. A meatless version is readily made: Lose the sausages, and use pasta water instead of stock.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 bunch black kale, washed, ribs removed
4 Italian sausages (mild or hot)
1/2 pound shiitakes (or brown mushrooms), washed, thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, peeled, finely chopped
4 shallots, peeled, finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups chicken stock or pasta water
1 tablespoon sweet butter
Sea salt and pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
1 box pasta (spaghetti, ziti, penne, or fusili)
1 tablespoon kosher salt for the pasta

Steps:

  • Make the pasta in boiling salted water, drain (reserve 2 cups of the pasta water if you're making the vegetarian version), drizzle with olive oil, season with sea salt and black pepper, toss and set aside.
  • Sauté with olive oil or grill the sausages to put a crust on the outside, drain on a paper towel, cut into 1/4-inch rounds, then set aside. In a hot pan lightly brown the kale with the olive oil and remove. Add the shiitakes, shallots, and garlic, and sauté until lightly browned. Turn down the heat to medium. Return the kale to the pan along with the sausages, stock, and butter. Braise for 15 minutes. The liquid should reduce by half.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound orecchiette
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound bulk Italian sausage
1/2 red onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 cups torn kale, stems removed
6 tablespoons jarred pesto
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
4 tablespoons salted butter
2 lemons, zested and juiced
1/2 cup shaved Parmesan
Fresh basil, for garnish

  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot, then pinch off 1- to 2-inch pieces of the sausage, adding it to the pan as you go. Cook for a couple minutes, flipping and stirring the sausage to brown both sides. Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion has softened a little, a couple of minutes.

Add the kale and cook until it has started to wilt, about 30 seconds, then add the pesto and cherry tomatoes and cook, stirring gently, until the sauce has thickened and the kale has wilted, about 3 minutes. If the skillet starts to look too dry at any stage, add a little more pasta water.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and add the butter, lemon zest, pasta and Parmesan. Toss to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning, then serve in bowls garnished with the fresh basil.

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

Steps:

  • 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.

Stir in cheese and thin with additional cooking water if desired.
  • Serve immediately, with additional cheese on the side.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cooked sausage. It's also a good idea to chop the kale and garlic in advance.
  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. Just be sure to add a little cornstarch to thicken the sauce.
  • To make the dish more flavorful, use a flavorful sausage, such as Italian sausage or chorizo.
  • If you like spicy food, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
  • Serve the penne with a side of grated Parmesan cheese.
