Shopping List:
- K&M Fresh Rigatoni (1 lb.)
- Italian Sausage (3 links)
- K&M Pomodoro Sauce (1 jar)
- K&M Baby Kale (5 oz)
- Shaved Parmesan (1 cup)
- K&M Lemon Pangratatto
Pantry Items:
- Olive Oil
- Salt & Pepper
- Red Chili Flakes (Optional)
Instructions:
- Bring a large pot of very salted water (we recommend 2 Tbsp of salt per gallon of water!) to a robust boil. Turn down to a simmer until you are ready to boil the pasta.
- Slice Italian sausages in half lengthwise then into 1” long pieces.
- In a large, heavy bottomed pot, heat 2 Tbsp olive oil. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up slightly, for a few minutes until browned. Add ½ tsp red pepper flakes if you like it spicy!
- Add all the pomodoro sauce and continue to cook, stirring to meld flavors, until the sausage is cooked through.
- Add baby kale to the sauce and stir to wilt. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper and keep warm while your pasta cooks.
- Add fresh rigatoni to boiling water. This is a fresh, artisanal pasta so it will cook in about 3-4 minutes. Boil the pasta until it is cooked al dente (a slight chewy bite in the middle) then strain water and transfer pasta immediately to the sauce. Stir carefully and cook a few more minutes in the sauce to meld the flavors.
- Transfer to a serving dish or serve directly from the pot and garnish with the lemon pangratatto (use as much or as little as you like!) and a generous amount of shaved parmesan!
