Preparation
Boil the pasta
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and boil, 8 to 10 min., until al dente. Reserving 1 cup cooking water, drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Cook the sausage meat & tomatoes
Meanwhile, in a large, high-sided pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the sausage meat and tomatoes. Cook, breaking up the meat, 5 to 7 min., until golden brown and partially cooked and the tomatoes begin to burst; season with the spices and S&P.
Make the sauce & combine the pasta
To the pan of sausage meat and tomatoes, add the kale, ⅓ of the reserved cooking water and S&P; bring to a boil. Cook, scraping up any browned bits, 30 sec. to 1 min., until the kale has wilted and the sausage meat* is cooked through. Add the pasta and reduce the heat to simmer; stir well. If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency. Off the heat, add 3 tbsp butter; stir well.
Plate your dish
Divide the pasta between your bowls. Garnish with the cheese. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground pork to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
