Preparation
Boil the pasta
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the pasta and boil, 9 to 11 min., until al dente.
- Reserving ½ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Cook the sausage meat & vegetables
- Meanwhile, halve the zucchini lengthwise; cut crosswise into ½ inch pieces.
- In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the sausage meat*, zucchini and kale.
- Cook, breaking up the meat, 4 to 6 min., until golden brown and cooked through; season with S&P.
Make the sauce & combine the pasta
- To the pan, add the cream, onions and ½ the reserved cooking water.
- Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until combined.
- Add 1 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions), the pasta and S&P.
- Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until combined and warmed through.
- If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
Plate your dish
- Divide the pasta between your plates. Bon appétit!
