Ingredients
-
2 tbsp olive oil
-
1 lb sausage links, cut into ½ inch slices - we recommend our smoked maple!
-
½ onion, diced
-
1 red bell pepper, diced
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
2 tbsp tomato paste
-
2 cups chopped kale or spinach
-
15 oz diced tomatoes (you can also use fresh)
-
½ tsp dried basil
-
¼ tsp oregano
-
¼ tsp fennel seed
-
8 oz uncooked pasta (penne or similar)
-
2 cups veg or chick stock
-
½ cup mozzarella
-
Optional garnish: ¼ cup parmesan, fresh basil
Directions
- Heat a large skillet or pot over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the sausage slices, onion, red pepper, and garlic. Cook, stirring often until the onion and peppers are tender and the sausage is cooked through - about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the tomato paste and stir. Add in the chopped kale, tomatoes, basil, oregano, and fennel.
- Add in pasta and broth. Stir until combined. Cover with a lid and cook per packet instructions, or until pasta is al dente. Remove lid, stir and add in the mozzarella. Stir and cook until cheese is melted. Top with Parmesan cheese and fresh basil. Serve warm.
