- 1 pound ground Italian sausage
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cups chopped kale

Bring large pot of water to boil and cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water and drain.
While pasta is cooking, cook sausage until cooked through, about 5 - 6 minutes.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add in kale, cook just until it starts to wilt, about 30 seconds. Add in garlic.
Stir in sausage, red pepper and pasta. Toss to combine.
If pasta seems dry add in reserved pasta water.
Remove from heat, sprinkle with Parmesan and toss. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Top with Parmesan shavings if desired. Serve immediately.
