Recipe by Michael Symon
One of Michael Symon's favorite pastas, this features some standout ingredients that hold their own in a bowl full of all-stars. It takes closer to 6 minutes, but it's entirely worth it!
Ingredients
- kosher salt
- 1 lb. fresh orecchiette pasta
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 1/2 lb. spicy Italian sausage
- 4 c. roughly chopped kale leaves
- 1/2 c. freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
- In a very large pot, bring 5 quarts water and 3 tablespoons salt to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until just al dente, about 1 minute less than the package directions. Occasionally give the pasta a stir so it doesn’t stick together. Scoop out and reserve 1 cup of the pasta water before draining the pasta.
- Meanwhile, put large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the sausage and cook, stirring only occasionally, until very well browned, about 4 minutes. Add the kale and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Add the reserved pasta water and deglaze the pan, scraping with a wooden spoon to get up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Add the cooked pasta to the pan, stirring the noodles into the sauce.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the Parmesan and extra-virgin olive oil. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding additional Parmesan if desired. Serve immediately.
