Sausage Kale Pasta, recipe by Hayden Quinn

Ingredients

What’s IN IT?

To serve

Method

  1. Place a large pot of salted water over high heat and bring to the boil. In a large non stick frying pan heat olive oil over high heat. Add pork mince and cook for 10–15 minutes until pork is super crisp and golden.
  2. Once water is boiling rapidly add your pasta and cook as per packet instructions or until al dente. Before straining your pasta, reserve one cup of pasta water (this is the starchy water that the pasta has been cooking in, be sure to use a mug or heat proof cup).
  3. To the pork add garlic, chilli, fennel and season well with sea salt. Stir well to combine and reduce heat to low and cook until garlic is just softened and fragrant (1–2 minutes)
  4. Add kale to mince and stir through, add in strained pasta along with 2 tbs of pasta water and a good glug of olive oil. Mix well to combine.
  5. Serve to large bowls. Top with chilli, parmesan and olive oil to your liking.
