How to make it
1
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a
boil. Wash and dry produce.
• Halve, peel, and finely chop onion.
Remove and discard any large stems
from kale; chop into bite-size pieces if
necessary. Peel and thinly slice garlic.
Quarter lemon.
2
• Once water is boiling, add cavatappi
to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until
al dente, 9-11 minutes.
• Reserve 3⁄4 cup pasta cooking water
(11⁄2 cups for 4 servings), then drain.
3
• Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large
pan over medium-high heat. Add
sausage* and onion; season with salt
and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat
into pieces, until sausage is mostly
cooked through and onion is softened,
3-5 minutes.
• Stir in kale and garlic; cook until
sausage is cooked through and kale
is wilted, 3-5 minutes. TIP: Add kale in
batches if necessary.
4
• Reduce heat to medium. Stir in cream
sauce base, sour cream, stock
concentrate, 1⁄4 cup reserved pasta
cooking water (⅓ cup for 4 servings),
and a big squeeze of lemon juice.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until
thickened, 2-3 minutes. Season with
salt and pepper.
5
• Reduce heat to low. Stir in drained
cavatappi, half the Parmesan (use
the rest for serving), 2 TBSP butter
(4 TBSP for 4 servings), and a squeeze
of lemon juice. TIP: If needed, stir in
more reserved cooking water a splash
at a time until pasta is coated in a
creamy sauce.
6
• Divide pasta between bowls; top with
remaining Parmesan. Serve with
remaining lemon wedges on the side.
Chicken Sausage is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.
