Cook the pasta to al dente according to the package directions. Before draining, reserve 1 cup of the cooking water. Drain the pasta.

While the pasta is cooking, make the sauce. In a large skillet, brown the sausage for 7-10 minutes until it is cooked through, crumbling it with a spoon as you go. When the sausage is cooked, add the kale and the garlic to the skillet. Stir for 2 minutes to soften the kale, then add the tomatoes, pasta, and cream. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer. Splash in a bit of the cooking water from the pasta (maybe ¼ cup at a time), and sprinkle the dish with salt.

Let the pasta simmer for about 5 minutes more, then taste and add salt or crushed red pepper to your taste.

Serve with parmesan cheese for sprinkling. Enjoy!
