(9,173 posts)This is loosey-goosey, no real set measurements or ingredients, but I do this:
Boil big pot full of water for 1 lb farfalle
crumble and cook until browned in separate big pot about 1/2 to 3/4 pound Italian sausage, drain on paper towels, set aside
Add olive oil, chopped shallots, garlic, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, pinch salt to empty sausage pot, cook for a few minutes
add 1-1/2 to 2 cups chicken broth (may be low sodium) and a little white wine, bring to bubbling then simmer uncovered
add back in browned sausage
add farfalle in separate boiling pot to cook
Add a pretty huge amount of washed cut-up kale (it cooks down to nothing) to either simmering sausage pot or to boiling pasta pot, however you want to get that kale cooked
once kale is fairly well cooked/soft and pasta is al dente, drain pasta and combine the sausage, kale, and pasta, maybe the juice of a half lemon, definitely some fresh parmesan
I didn't say it was one-pot clean-up. Also you could use spinach or other greens.
