# Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
170 g tomato paste
02 -
450 g dry orecchiette pasta
03 -
180 g chopped dinosaur kale
04 -
110 g diced celery
05 -
130 g diced carrots
06 -
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
07 -
240 ml chopped red onion
08 -
450 g Italian pork sausage
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Pop the lid on, turn the heat low, and let everything hang out for 20 minutes. The pasta will soak up the tasty sauce and get just the right bite.
02 -
Pour in the tomato paste with 360 ml water. Let it come to a light boil, then toss the sausage back in. Drop in your orecchiette and give it a good toss so it’s all coated.
03 -
Throw the kale in with the veggies. Stir now and then while it softens up and gets all wilted.
04 -
In the sausage pan, drop in your onion, garlic, celery, and carrot. Sauté—still using the sausage grease—until things are getting soft but not mushy.
05 -
Grab your biggest pot (at least 4 litres), and cook the pork sausage over medium till it’s nice and brown everywhere. Scoop it out and keep the juice in the pan.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Break the sausage up as you fry it so it mixes in easy later.
02 -
Pick dino kale (lacinato) for lots of chew, or curly kale works in a pinch.
