Ingredients:


1 recipe green pasta -- see * note

8 ounces spicy Italian sausage with fennel seeds -- cut into 1/4 inch pieces

4 cups finely-chopped kale - -- (abt 1/2 lb)

1/2 cup chicken stock

1 teaspoon salt -- to taste

1 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper -- to taste

1/2 cup freshly-grated pecorino cheese
 

Preparation / Directions:


* Note: See the "Green Pasta"recipe which is included in this collection. Substitute steamed nettles for steamed spinach, or add 1/2 cup dried nettles and increase eggs by 1. Heat 6 quarts water to boiling in a spaghetti pot and add 2 tablespoons salt. In a 10-inch to 12-inch sauté pan, cook sausage over low heat until fat begins to render, about 6 minutes. Turn heat up to medium and cook until most of fat from sausage has rendered out and sausage is golden-brown. Add kale and chicken stock and cook until very soft, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and remove from heat. Drop pasta into boiling water and cook until tender (about 1 minute). Drain pasta and toss into sauté pan with kale and sausage. Cook over high heat until coated, about 1 minute. Add grated cheese and toss to mix. Pour into heated serving bowl and serve.
