Method

Cook the pasta in a large pot according to the package.
-
2
While the pasta cooks, heat 3 Tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until the onion is soft. Add the bell pepper and sausage and continue to sauté until the sausage is cooked through, about 7-8 minutes {this depends on the type of sausage or meat you use}.
-
3
Add the baby kale, sundried tomatoes, lemon juice and 2 Tablespoons olive oil and continue to cook until the kale is wilted.

4
Remove from the heat and stir in the cooked pasta. Mix well. Garnish with fresh parsley, parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper {optional}.
Notes
There are a lot of ways you can customize this dish. If you want to add beans for extra protein or to make it vegetarian without the meat try white beans or chickpeas. If you like cheese try adding parmesan cheese, mozzarella or feta. For extra crunch try adding a handful of toasted pine nuts or walnuts. I used baby kale but if you don't like kale try spinach, Swiss chard or your favorite green.
