Рецепт Baked Pasta with Kale and Sausage

by Anne

This pasta is creamy and decadent tasting. It’s healthy and it’s a great way to eat your vegetables and pasta in one bowl. Since it’s been getting colder I’ve been craving pasta, and this is one of my favorite pasta dinners.  It  can be made ahead of time and popped in the oven for a quick 30 minutes and dinner is on the table. When it comes to vegetables, I always say more is better.  I packed this baked pasta with nutrient dense kale, sun-dried tomatoes and a little bit of turkey sausage.  Kale is so hearty, it really holds up well in this dish. Did I mention that this  tastes better the longer it sits?  Make a double batch and freeze one for later. If kale isn’t for you, you can easily substitute with spinach. For a complete healthy meal serve this with an Arugula Salad.
