Sausage and Fennel Ragu with Kale

Sausage and Fennel Ragu with Kale

Fresh fennel compliments the fennel seasoning in homemade sausage and brings it to a new flavor level. Fresh kale ribbons can take the place of pasta for a lower carb version: think Italian Chili.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound bulk mild Italian sausage
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 fennel bulb, sliced
  • 1 bunch kale, preferable lacinato or dinosaur kale, rib removed and cut into ribbons
  • 1-24-28 ounce can or jar tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano or marjoram
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Grated Parmesan cheese to serve

Instructions

  1. Sauté sausage in large skillet over medium heat and break down into small pieces.
  2. Add chopped onion and fennel and continue to cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add kale and cook for 2 minutes
  3. Add tomato sauce and seasonings and simmer for 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  4. Serve as is or over gluten-free pasta. May add grated Parmesan cheese.
