Penne With Sausage And Kale
- 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
- 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.
- Meanwhile, blanch kale in a 6-quart pot of boiling salted water, uncovered, 5 minutes. Remove kale with a large sieve and drain. Return cooking water in pot to a boil, then cook pasta in boiling water, uncovered, until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta-cooking water, then drain pasta in a colander.
- While pasta cooks, add kale to sausage in skillet and saute, stirring frequently, until just tender, about 5 minutes. Add broth, stirring and scraping up any brown bits from bottom of skillet, then add pasta and 1/2 cup reserved cooking water to skillet, tossing until combined. Stir in cheese and thin with additional cooking water if desired.
- Serve immediately, with additional cheese on the side.
