Whole grain penne with spicy pork sausage and kale

🥳 I love this delicious pasta!

Ingredients for two servings – 6 to 8 oz. whole grain penne, 1/2 onion, chopped, 3 garlic cloves, minced, 4 oz. spicy pork sausage removed from casing.

Steps – heat boiling salted water and cook penne according to box directions. While water is heating and penne is cooking sauté onion and garlic in olive oil. When onion is translucent add the pork sausage. Break sausage apart while cooking. Cook until the sausage is no longer pink.

Reserve a cup of pasta water and then strain the pasta with a colander. Add a couple of handfuls of chopped kale to the sausage mixture and also a half cup of the reserved pasta water. Put the penne into the sausage mixture and stir it around. Add the rest of the reserved water if it looks dry.

Garnish with olive oil and Parmesan.
