Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion diced small (white onion may be substituted)
- 1 pound ground Italian sausage (mild or spicy, your choice; also see the FAQs for sausage substitutions questions)
- 3 to 4 cloves garlic finely minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste
- ¼ cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes drained, patted with a paper towel, and roughly chopped
- 4 large kale fronds stems removed and leaves roughly chopped (about 4 cups; Swiss chard or baby spinach may be substituted, noting the spinach will cook/wilt quicker)
- 1 ¼ cup chicken broth (I use reduced sodium)
- ½ cup heavy cream (cream recommended but half-and-half may be substituted)
- 15- ounces canned cannellini beans drained and rinsed (navy beans or another favorite bean may be substituted)
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese or more to taste; optional but recommended
- salt and pepper as desired to taste
- 1 to 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice optional but recommended to balance the flavors
- Fresh herbs such as basil oregano, or thyme; optional for garnishing
Instructions
- To a large skillet add the oil, onion, and saute over medium-high heat for about 4 minutes or until it become lightly translucent; stir frequently.
- Add the sausage and cook until it's browned and done; crumble and toss very frequently as it's cooking to ensure even cooking.
- Add the garlic, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, and cook for 1 minute; stir nearly continuously.
- Add the sun dried tomatoes, kale, and stir for 1-2 minutes or until kale is beginning to wilt.
- Add the broth, cream, beans, stir to combine, and allow the mixture to just barely bubble. Then turn the heat down to medium-low and allow the ingredients to simmer gently for about 3-5 minutes, or until kale is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly. Tip - If you want it less "saucy" and a more dry/pasty consistency, simply simme a bit longer.
- Taste, and check for seasoning balance, and add salt and pepper, as desired, to taste. I add about 1 teaspoon of each, but it also depends on the type of broth you used, your sausage, and you overall personal preference.
- Optionally, add lemon juice, fresh herbs, and serve.
