This pasta dish was supposed to be orecchiette with sausage and kale. Since I could not find orecchiette for less than $5.19/lb. I decided that $0.99 medium shells would be a fine substitute. Along with my on sale pasta I got spicy Italian bulk sausage which was marked down $2.00 because it was nearing its sell-by date. Add to that about $1.00 worth of kale and we had a delicious dinner for the three of us for around $5.00 with enough leftover for another meal! I love a good bargain!

I sautéed the the sausage with onion and garlic and skimmed off the excess grease before adding in the pasta that John had expertly cooked. Then I added a lot of kale and some pasta water and stirred it all together. A garnish of olive oil and Parmesan cheese completed the dishes. Yum!
