Cheesy Stovetop Mac With Sausage And Kale Recipes

Steps:

• In a 7.25-quart Dutch oven over medium heat, heat olive oil. Once glistening, add grated garlic, allow to cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add kale and stir to coat in olive oil and garlic.
• Cook for 10 to 12 min. until kale begins to wilt. Season with black pepper and stir in crushed red pepper. Add water and bring to a boil.
• Once boiling, add shells. Cook, stirring occasionally, 4 min. shy of package directions.
• Add VELVEETA and stir until pasta and kale become creamy and cheesy, about 5 min. Remove from heat and serve.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large, wide pot or a very large, deep skillet over medium-high, then add the onion, kale and ½ teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the kale has cooked down and the onion is smaller in size, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add the garlic and tomato paste and cook, stirring often, until the paste darkens slightly, 1 to 3 minutes.
• Add the sausage and cook, breaking the meat into small pieces, until it loses its pink color, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add the red-pepper flakes, sprinkle with salt and give everything a good stir. Add the chicken broth and pasta and stir to combine. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, place a lid on the pan and cook until the pasta is soft but still has some bite to it, about 10 minutes. Be sure to check on the pasta and stir every now and again. (The sauce will have thickened from the starch in the pasta.)
• Add the cheese and hot sauce and mix well. Add salt and additional hot sauce to taste before serving.
