Step by Step Method
Step 1
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced Italian sausage and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions become translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Step 4
Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, kale, parsley, oregano, basil, rosemary, and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer the sauce for an additional 5 minutes, until it thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 6
Add the cooked Italian sausage back to the skillet, mixing it into the sauce.
Step 7
Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet with the sauce and sausage, ensuring that the pasta is well coated.
Step 8
Serve hot, garnishing each plate with grated Parmesan cheese.
