Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 6 Italian sausage in casings
- 2 cups kale, cut into ribbons
- 2 large cloves of fresh garlic
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 4 cups fresh, cheese filled tortellini (You can really use any filling that sounds good to you)
Instructions
-
Heat the olive oil in a large kettle. Cut the sausages into bite sized pieces and brown in the hot olive oil.
-
Add the kale and garlic and continue to cook until the kale starts to wilt. Stir in the broth, stirring to loosen all the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
-
Let the broth boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the sausage is cooked through and the kale is soft and tender.
-
Next, add the tortellini and cook until the pasta is done, about 15-20 minutes. (Fresh pasta will take less time than the dried version)
-
Serve hot with garlic bread or bread sticks.
