Ingredients

• 8 oz spaghetti
• 1 lb Italian sausage, casings removed
• 1 bunch kale, stems removed and chopped
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 Tbsp olive oil

Instructions

1. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti and set aside.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Using the same skillet, add the olive oil and garlic, sautéing until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
4. Add the chopped kale to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes.
5. Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
6. Return the cooked sausage to the skillet, stirring to combine with the kale.
7. Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet, tossing everything together. If the mixture is too thick, gradually add the reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is reached.
8. Before serving, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta.
