Preparation:
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil for cooking the linguine. Meanwhile, slice the turkey sausage into bite-sized pieces, chop the red bell peppers, onions, and garlic, and wash the kale thoroughly before chopping it into manageable pieces.
-
Cooking:
- Once the water is boiling, add the linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente, typically around 8-11 minutes. While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat.
-
SautΓ©ing Sausage and Vegetables:
- Add the sliced turkey sausage to the skillet and sautΓ© until lightly browned, which should take about 2-3 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. π₯©
- Next, add the chopped red bell peppers, onions, and garlic to the skillet. Continue to sautΓ©, stirring frequently, for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the onions begin to brown and the vegetables are slightly tender. πΆοΈ
- Once the vegetables are cooked to your liking, add the chopped kale to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the sausage and vegetables, allowing the kale to wilt slightly, which should take approximately 1-2 minutes. π₯¬
-
Bringing It Together:
- Pour in the broth and stir everything together until it comes to a gentle boil. This will help meld the flavors and create a delicious sauce for the pasta. π²
- By now, the linguine should be cooked to perfection. Drain it well and return it to the pot.
- Add the sausage and vegetable mixture to the pot with the linguine, along with the grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. π§
- Toss everything together until the linguine is evenly coated in the flavorful sauce and the ingredients are well combined. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serving:
- Serve your Linguine with Sausage and Kale immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired. Pair it with a side salad or some crusty bread for a complete meal. Enjoy! π½οΈ
