Even in summer I can crave this full of flavor pasta dish. Cheesy from a four cheese blend, quick to make. Delicious any time of year. Grab a glass of wine and enjoy!

Steps

30 mins

1

In a large dutch oven, I used a ceramic coated cast iron one, add 1 teaspoon oil.
2

Set temp to medium. Once oil is hot, add in sausage chunks. Don't stir.
3

Place onion slices on top.
4

Let cook for 5 minutes without stirring. You are getting a good brown on the sausage. It is not mentioned in ingredients but you may now sprinkle a small amount of red pepper flakes on top of onions at this point.
5

Take water and deglaze pan, scrapping up any brown bits on bottom.
6

Top onions now with kale, salt , pepper and garlic.
7

Turn temp to low and cover to wilt kale.
8

In the meantime, pasta should be cooking and just about ready to drain.
9

Cook kale about 6-7 minutes until fully wilted. Turn off heat and add one half of shredded cheese. Stir.
10

Add cooked drained pasta. Top with olive oil and rest of cheese.
11

Stir then serve nice and hot!
