Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the Italian sausage. Cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it up into smaller pieces as it cooks, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Kale

    In the same skillet, add olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the chopped kale and cook until wilted, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the cooked sausage to the skillet with the kale. Stir well to combine and heat through for another 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Cheeses

    Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the grated Pecorino and Parmigiano cheese until melted and combined. Top with dollops of Stracciatella cheese.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve warm, garnished with additional cheese if desired.
