This sausage and kale fettuccine is a satisfying high-protein meal that perfectly balances rich, savoury flavours with nutritious greens. By using crumbled sausage meat and iron-rich kale, you create a robust sauce that clings beautifully to the ribbons of egg pasta. The addition of salty Pecorino Romano and a splash of starchy cooking water ensures a silky finish without the need for heavy cream, making it a lighter yet deeply comforting dinner option.
Ideal for a quick weeknight supper, this versatile recipe works well with either spicy pork or lean turkey sausages depending on your preference. The combination of textures—from the slightly crisp meat to the tender blanched kale—provides a sophisticated feel to a dish that takes less than thirty minutes to prepare. Serve it in warmed bowls with an extra grating of cheese for a wholesome, homemade feast.

Ingredients for Fettuccine With Sausage and Kale
45ml olive oil
450g hot turkey or pork sausage, casings discarded and sausage crumbled
230g kale, tough stems and centre ribs discarded and leaves coarsely chopped
230g dried egg fettuccine
160ml reduced-sodium chicken broth

How to make Fettuccine With Sausage and Kale
Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then cook sausage, breaking up any lumps with a spoon, until browned, 5 to 7 minutes.
Meanwhile, blanch kale in a 6-quart pot of boiling salted water , uncovered, 5 minutes. Remove kale with a large sieve and drain. Return cooking water in pot to a boil, then cook pasta in boiling water, uncovered, until al dente. Reserve 240ml pasta-cooking water, then drain pasta in a colander.
While pasta cooks, add kale to sausage in skillet and sauté, stirring frequently, until just tender, about 5 minutes. Add broth, stirring and scraping up any brown bits from bottom of skillet, then add pasta and 120ml reserved cooking water to skillet, tossing until combined. Stir in cheese and thin with additional cooking water if desired.
Serve immediately, with additional cheese on the side.
