Ingredients

• 12 oz Italian sausage
• 1 bunch kale
• 1 can (15 oz) white beans
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1/2 cup vegetable broth
• 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add 12 oz sliced Italian sausage and cook for 5 minutes, breaking it into small pieces, until browned and cooked through.
2. Step 2: Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, stirring for 1 minute until fragrant and golden. Add 1 bunch chopped kale (stems removed), 1 can diced tomatoes, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, and 1/2 cup vegetable broth. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
3. Step 3: Add 1 can drained white beans and 1/2 tsp salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes until kale is tender and flavors meld.
4. Step 4: Remove lid, increase heat to medium, and simmer uncovered for 3 minutes to thicken the sauce slightly. Adjust seasoning with salt if needed before serving.
